Carmel-by-the-sea

This should have been dated around Sep 10, 2007.  I just got lazy and never posted it.

We started our four day weekend in Carmel-by-the-sea by taking a trip along 17 Mile Drive.  Here we got to see some interseting things include some local wild life grazing on the grounds just off the golf course greens.

We also saw the Lone Cypress, the iconic symbol of Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive.

A neighbor to the Ghost Tree, and in my opinion equally sinister and worthy of examination.

The Ghost Tree itself, while often seen as something sinister (especially when looking at it with the ocean and lifeless rocks in the background), makes an interesting frame for the more lively angle (towards the trees and residences that are inland).
