The below pictutres are of a rather famous Utah landmark. Yes, I've also seen it on just about every outdoor catalog or calendar ever produced. Its called Delicate Arch, and you can see it for yourself in Arches National Park in Utah. A trip I'd highly recomend.
This picture was taken from Patrick's Point State Park in Northern California. I'd just seen the Pacific Ocean for the first time in my life that very morning. Having grown up in Florida, I'd seen the Atlantic Ocean before, and people used to kid me about my desire to see the Pacific. Its not quite the same and the differences go beyond North being to your right instead of your left while facing it. There are no hilly coastlines in Florida, and even the sand was different.
More of Northern California, a lady I met in the state park tried to talk me into moving out there.... hmm...
The sunset later that evening.
