Thanks Cotty. I guess that I'm a terrible judge of my own photos.  Both of those
were pretty much a case of walk up to a tourist outlook, aim my camera at
the scenic bits, snap a bunch of pictures then choose the better ones.
I used a bigma with the first, and Candice's ND filter with the second, so
while someone with an iPhone couldn't have gotten them, pretty much anyone
with a reasonably complete SLR kit could have, and with little effort.

It's hard for me to think of a photo that anybody could have taken as
particularly special.


Those are the two I'd have picked, too.

I especially loved the composition in the seal photo. Maybe anyone with 
a decent camera /could/ have taken it, but I'd submit it would've been 
by accident in 90% of cases.

This first one was taken for purely sentimental reasons.  That, and the previous
were taken at Limekiln park (see the map). When I was a kid, it was  privately
owned park, and one of my family's favorite places to camp. We'd camp on a 
levee near the beach next to a lagoon formed by the levee holding back 
water from the creek.  There are some nice woods, and a waterfall on the inland
side of the park.  Those poles and the orange sign are for the construction
area to repair the damage from last year's big mudslide.

If I were to dig through slides that I have downstairs I would be able
to pictures I took of that stretch of beach ~40 years ago, attempting to catch 
light shining through the backs of waves.

It's often entertaining to stop by one's favorite childhood haunts.
