San Mateo County
/ Pigeon Point Lighthouse, Northern California
Thank you in advance for stopping by and viewing!
Seat with a view.... overlooking Half Moon Bay, near San Francisco, in southern California.
This image was stacked with 20 shots for better result of the light trails, which simply meant it was a very busy sky in every night. Photo spot is located at the hill of Millbrae, near the San Francisco International Airport.
Thank you for taking the time to view this image, sincerely hope you'll like it. Good luck to you and the one you love.
This image was taken on the Ralston Avenue Bike Trail Bridge, which situated at northbound of Interstate 280 and interchange State Route 92 in San Mateo, California. When the heavy clouds almost covered the north of peninsula of San Francisco in the twilight, only here was quite clear that let me had an opportunity to shoot traffic light trails under the beautiful sunset sky. But it was windy and chilly, temperature about 55℉/13℃ in the early evening although in summer.
Thank you for taking time to view this photo, wishing you a great day/night wherever you are.
Not quite sunset, but heading that way.
Hope your day is going well.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks!
Knowing now how easy it is to get here, it's worth a return trip. I hope you enjoy.

Taken at Rockaway Beach, Northern California
View from Devil's Slide, San Mateo County, California
A beautiful state beach in Northern California. Some people love to enjoy sunbath right there under the warm temperature situation, but it was always cold and windy all seasons for recently years. So you can’t see anybody at the beach even in April.
A little bit foggy, that town lights lit up the low fog above the hills, which seems to be warmer in this winter season. This image was taken from north hill of Linda Mar, Northern California.
There’s something magical about Martin’s Beach. Perhaps it has to do with the wizard’s hat shaped sea-stack just off the shore of the beach. Or...

A day along the coast led me and my meetup group to a location I have longed to explore. Turns out that at low tide it is magical.

Rockaway Beach is a shoreline area of the Pacific Ocean in the southern portion of Pacifica, California, United States, approximately 7 miles (11 km) south of the city of San Francisco. It is located within a gently curving embayment with direct access via Rockaway Beach Avenue and providing easy access to Highway 1. ( Wikipedia )
A small beach, but worth to visit, I still love to stay there anytime. If you travel and take California Highway 1, no matter northbound or southbound, just turn in to the lovely town, Rockaway Beach, it seems quite peaceful and elegant, you will find out its seascape is really amazing, which even more than your expectance.
海灘不大，但值得一訪，我始終喜歡隨時待在那裡。如果你旅行取道加州1號公路，無論是北向還是南行，不妨轉入這一個優雅的小鎮 - 洛克威海灘。 她就是那麼祥和寧靜，你會發現她的海景真是明媚旖旎，甚至超乎你的期待。
View from Seal Point, San Mateo, Northern California
According to Google Map’s calculation, from my photo location to downtown San Francisco, the distance is about 18.8 miles. Of course, if viewed from above the San Francisco Bay directly, it would be shorter than that. On a cloudy day afternoon, this harmony of the seas scenery is a touching sense of sight for me.
Thanks a lot for your visit, wishing you a great and joyful weekend!
