This is part of the path that winds its way along the tidepool shore, down below the lighthouse. The path itself is such a beautiful thing; up and down, back and forth. The maintenance of the path is also an important part of arresting the erosion of these fragile sandstone cliffs. Out to sea, there's a clear view of that vast (and vastly important) kelp forest.

Near the end of the path is this small, natural, smooth-walled cave worn into the sandstone cliffs, a product of the erosion that is happening in "real time"--as I sat there painting, little chunks of sandstone would softly break loose and roll down from above.

Another look at the Shaw's Agave and radar towers, still exploring that juxtaposition which seems so emblematic.
