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 / Fisherman’s Wharf (# 0056) Last Christmas at Monterey’s Fisherman’s Wharf.
PG Point Pinos / Subaru deer?? (# 0054) Given all of the ads with Subarus driven by dogs, maybe he commutes to golf in the nearby Subaru….
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).
Pacific Grove / Stanford Marine station (# 0038) Late December afternoon, taken from the Pacific Grove Vista Point.. The two buildings on the left are at the Stanford <u><a href="https://hopkinsmarinestation.stanford.edu" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Hopkins Marine Station</a></u>; the building on the right side of the picture is just a nearby house.
