SEPTEMBER 2003 – View along the Californian coastline known as Big Sur. Photo © by Mark Zanzig/zanzig.com
The story behind the image
The drive along the famous Highway Number One was a key attraction we wanted to experience in California. So we drove from San Francisco to Los Angeles all the way along the old highway instead of the modern and faster Highway 101.
The stretch between Pacific Grove and San Simeon is also known as Big Sur. Here, the highway has been built closely to the shoreline. This makes it a truly scenic highway, and it took us much longer to reach the South than we had expected, because we were stopping so often admiring the scene (and taking photos). 🙂
This photo shows the stretch south of the Big Creek Bridge.
Nice.
