On our last trip to San Francisco, we took a leisurely drive on our first day through the Marin headlands and headed to Rt 1. The pacific coast highway goes through some exceptionally beautiful landscapes just north of the Bay Area and we wanted to see if we could find some interesting trails. We saw some truly amazing scenes but this little fire road caught our eye and we decided to take a quick walk to stretch our legs a bit.

As we started walking we came across this small hill and a saw this lonely tree standing against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. It was truly a sight to behold. We spend a wonderful evening enjoying the wind and watching the sea. I really wish that the broken swing set we found was in working condition, which would have made our evening even more perfect.
