Monterey Bay from Pacific Grove A night photograph of the Northern sky as viewed over Monterey Bay. The photograph was taken from several vantage points along the Monterey Recreation Trail. The Monterey Recreation Trail runs from Monterey to Pacific Grove, CA.

Startrails of Auriga over Monterey Bay Thirty-Six 20 second exposures (12 minutes) combined using the Startrails.exe program. Auriga can be seen in the North-Eastern sky. The green trail in the bay is from a passing boat.

Salinas / ‘guard animal’? (#0069) Getting closer to why I was visiting the park, I came across this unusual statue – again with no description. But, the fenced enclosure in the background is my real reason for visiting (forthcoming picture).

Monterey / Cannery Row – Fishermen’s mural (# 0061) This particular section of Cannery Row is called <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=55191" rel="noreferrer nofollow">McAbee Beach</a></u> in honor of a failure by John McAbee, who purchased the beach around 1900 and planned (but failed) to create a small tourist attraction here of cottages and rental boats.

There is no explanation for the simple mural of fishermen, but a nearby placard notes that Portugese whalers used this beach in the mid-1800s for catching whales to extract the oil for lamps, until that failed due to the discovery of kerosene in the late 1800’s. And then, after McAbee’s efforts failed, the beach became the home for a Chinese fishing village that led to the sardine industry. So, there is a long history fishing being launched from this beach.

Note that there appears to be either a seal or an otter a little past the break water. It appears to be floating on its back, so probably an otter.

Monterey / Cannery Row – native recognition (# 0066) Though I doubt it’s ever read by the passing tourists, I was glad to see a marker documenting that for a very long period prior to the arrival of Europeans in the early 1600’s, there were natives who utilized the plentiful fish, seals, and other animals and plants available in the area for food, shelter, and improvised boats.

Monterey / Cannery Row remnants (# 0062) I was pleased to see that not all of the remains of the canneries and piers have been converted to modern tourist sites…

Monterey / Fisherman’s Wharf (# 0056) Last Christmas at Monterey’s Fisherman’s Wharf.

Pacific Grove / contrasts (# 0041) BTW, this picture is a good example of how direction on the Monterey Peninsula can be confusing, as I note in a comment below. We're actually looking NNE here across Monterey Bay -- the Pacific ocean is a little behind me, off my left shoulder. One way to get oriented is to note that the towers of Moss Landing generating plant are faintly visible near the left side of the picture.

When I was stationed in Monterey in '67-'68, my barracks window looked over the bay and the sun set behind the barracks, seemingly over land (over the peninsula).
