(Pre Leica days....) When I was there I witnessed parasurfers along the beach...first time I'd ever seen that. Serves me right for not keeping my camera on my shoulder or neck instead of beside me on the seat. Your photo is wonderful to look at. However, I'm not sure the web format allows full appreciation of the image. I looked at the photo quickly before reading your entire description. The small blip on the left distracted me from the magnificence of the vista. After I re-read your email I realized this must be the couple with the dog, which I can now see towards the bottom middle of the image. I'm not sure that that aspect of your intented impression works as well, but the image brings back memories of my one visit and is very well done. Do you have any others from same session without the couple? jm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Dory" <dorysrus@mindspring.com> To: <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2004 8:14 PM Subject: [Leica] Don's PAW 11 Off Season > Coming back from the college tour we tended to take Highway 1 down the > coast.
