Highway 1 - Southern California 2014 (Part 3)

At the end of 2014 (around Christmas time), I took a trip to Southern California and took a lot of great photos. I went to famous places such as the Los Angeles, San Diego, USS Midway Museum, Huntington Library, Hollywood Walk of Fame, etc... The photos from this road trip will be split into many parts. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

Normally people from the SF Bay Area will take Highway 5 down to Los Angeles, but I decided to take the scenic Highway 1 which follows California's coastline since I am a photographer and there are a lot of photography opportunities on that route compared to Highway 5 which runs through the middle of nowhere. The photos for today are continuing on scenery from Highway 1.

Continuing further down SR-1, I took a series of photos as the sunset dipped below the horizon. The next few sunset shots were all shot at the same place on the side of SR-1 in Big Sur, CA.

This is the last photo from day 1. Photo is shot at dusk on the side of SR-1 near Elephant Seal Vista Point in San Simeon, CA. Since it was dark after this, I proceeded to a faster, less winding route as there were no more scenery opportunities.
