Jostein,
Your pictures are really wonderful and the geography excellent.
I envy the trips you are making along with your photos.
I'm sure you'll have a great time in California.
The coastline south of Carmel is dramatic, but I enjoyed the drive

California is without doubt the coastline, as anyone who has ever
travelled along Highway 1 will confirm. The cool sea breezes bring moist
