After my recent San Francisco walkabout, I decided to take the coastal route out of the city in order to check out the new tunnel at Devil's Slide. Devil's Slide near Pacifica has been a particularly troublesome portion of coastal Highway One with mud slides and debris flows quite common during the heavier winter storms. Sometimes the road would be closed for weeks. The solution was to replace the roadway with a tunnel.
The tunnel was all well and good--quite impressive actually, and when I exited it near Montara Beach, I saw this incredible field of flowers leading up the ocean. Smack dab in the middle of the field, were a group of painters. Keeping with my philosophy to stop and see what other photographers were up to, I decided to see what the hubbub was here. It seems these painters were looking at the same things we photographers do, it just takes longer for the gratification to appear. My gratification was instantaneous. I bet some of them are still working on theirs.
