Road Trip–Northern California

Photograph of cliffs, fog and a beach on the  northern California coast near Jenner, CaliforniaIn September of this year, 2012, we took a three week road trip along the Northern California and Oregon coast in order to visit family and friends. We saw spectacular rocky cliffs, lonely beaches, redwoods and lots of fog. Over the next several weeks I’ll post some of my favorite shots. We began the coast portion of the trip just north of the Russian River. This shot was looking back south as we began to climb in elevation.
