Panther Beach - Santa Cruz, CA (Part 2)

A few month back, I took a trip to Santa Cruz and the near by city of Davenport in California. I went to several beaches there that other photographers have recommended to me! They were sure very beautiful. Here are some of the photos I took there. I went to Shark Fin Cove, Panther Beach, Bonny Doon Beach and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Some of the photos will be like "mini time lapses". If you wish to view those as a slideshow, just click on any image on this blog post and a slideshow should load.

Today, I have photos from part 2 of Panther Beach located in Santa Cruz, CA. This beach is also one of the more harder beaches to access due to the steepness of the only route down. You will definitely need 2 people to navigate down to this beach. Also, don't expect to see Hole in the Wall before heading down as the hole will be right under where you are standing! The landmarks in this blog post includes Panther Beach (of course) and Hole in the Wall. The photos will include regular scenery, HDRs, and flower photos.

 A few long exposures on Panther Beach. 


A few photos of Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum). Also, my foot and flip flop got in the last image. LOL On the first 3 images, the person you see in the background was another photographer. A few people were doing a photo shoot on the railroad tracks. 
Approximate GPS location (type into Google) according to the Canon GP-E2 GPS Receiver: 36 59 00 N 122 10 00 W 

These are all the photos for today. I hope you have enjoyed them. Next time I will have photos from Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
