More from Big Sur [PhotoTravel]

I'm back home and sorting my photographs again, and can't resist displaying two more from Big Sur. On Sunday I continued south. After a delicious but expensive breakfast at Nepenthe, I stopped at the Henry Miller Library, just south of Nepenthe, and spent a happy hour browsing among the books and pictures. The staff there were very friendly (hi, Magnus!) and we indulged in discussion about the implications for personal freedom of the development of the internet (I have a fairly pessimistic view, along the lines articulated by Scott McNealy). On the way out I noticed the sculpture to the right, which I found intriguing.

After a beautiful ride along a misty coast the land opened out and I drove among the blue pools of lupine I mentioned before. The beaches there revealed a scene initially like a WW1 painting with bodies of seals scattered as far as the eye could see, but stopping and looking showed them to be the model of contentment and tranquility.
