Point Lobos Reserve in black and white
Photo Fridays – Point Lobos State Reserve
Today’s Photo Friday is are images I took recently on a trip to Point Lobos Reserve and presented in black and white. The crown jewel of state parks in California, Point Lobo’s spectacular coastlines and trails through scenic vista points are truly amazing. I could easily hike every trail in this park because of the landscapes, wildflowers, meadows and panoramic coastlines are so breathtaking.

It seems like every place that I climb and at every turn there’s always a new discovery. There’s so much of nature to be inspired by – either through the wildlife or marine life to the smallest of flowers just starting to bloom en mass.

I think I came here a little too early to see the mass of California wildflowers in bloom – no worries, I see hints of it with the wild lilacs, California poppies and paintbrush starting to peek out in various patches along the pathways. The hikes are still spectacular and I am awestruck with the beauty of this area. I’m so glad this special place has been preserved, to be left untouched with no harm done to its inhabitants for perpetuity.
Stunning wouldn’t you agree – have you discovered this special place yet?

Have you ever thought about including a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all.
Nevertheless think about if you added some great visuals or video clips
to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and
clips, this website could undeniably be one of the best in its field.
Wonderful blog!
What’s up to every body, it’s my first visit of
this web site; this web site carries remarkable and in fact good
material in favor of visitors.
Lovely pictures, Noel. I’m a big fan of black and white photographs and you have captured them brilliantly. Nicely done 🙂
What a beautiful set of photos Noel. I have yet to visit Point Lobos and I’d definitely want to catch it with wildflowers. Your shots are powerful in B&W.
Great photos Noel! I haven’t been to Point Lobos State Park but I’ll be going now. Carmel is one of my favorite places I’ve visited in California. Now that I live here and have been discovering more of the state I still feel the same way. I’m certain I would really enjoy this park as well and now can’t wait to spend a day practicing my photography there.
Sometimes nature photos look so darn good in black and white. Love yours!
WOW. Especially the first image. Stupendous!
Nice photos Noel. Sometimes I get so caught up in the apps and filters available, I forget how gorgeous a crisp black and white photograph can be. The trails look so dramatic as you’ve shown them.
Wow Noel, these are fabulous shots, they really capture the essence of the nature here. I hadn’t heard of the reserve before, but for those who don’t speak Spanish, you may like to know that Lobos = Wolves. Also Noel, I am deep into this book at the moment, which given these amazing tree photos that you’ve shot, you may like, it is called “The Message of Sacred Places – Cathedrals of the Spirit” by T.C. McLuhan.
I’ll look it up Jackie, thanks for the book reference
Point Lobos is one of my favorite places in California. Great shots!
