View of coast line north of Ft. Bragg. There was a dead seal on this beach that I did not care to take a picture of.
This is Glass Beach in Ft. Bragg. It used to be a dump. The waves broke up the bottles and ground the glass into smooth pebbles hence the name.
This is an Old Faithful geyser north of Calistoga in Nappa Valley. It goes off about every 45 minutes. I didn't know California had any geysers.
