Hey Doddy, thanks for looking. It is stunning and my wife and I enjoy visiting northern CA from our home near Los Angeles. I was in London last month, working at Abbey Road - for my money the best recording studio on the planet. Not many pictures, unfortunately.
I took many of the same photos that you have taken in Monterey. Your rendition of the lone cypress tree is better than mine since my angle of view was the other direction as your's was focused against the shoreline. Really nice work in a beautiful location.
