I just meant that Weston can be overwhelming both emotionally and in it's difficulty, amongst all the detail, to envision/find a singular image. I felt that way about this place. Just a weird death-like aura that was overwhelming in its scale and difficult to find an image in all of the detail that would convey that. Weston has so much beautiful detail everywhere you turn that finding an image can often be impossible for me. I've spent an entire day walking around Weston with 30lbs of camera gear on my back and not been able to shoot a single image. It's overwhelming. I've learned from that when I encounter such a venue just to take the camera out and start shooting and looking through the viewfinder. If anything will break the barrier, that will or nothing at all will. So that is what the comparison is about. Hope this explains it a little better.

I have trouble photographing the Weston Beach because of all the tripod holes, but I suspect this is different in this case? And yes, very nice photo!
