We were staying in a nice, albeit expensive, little cottage in the town of Inverness Park, at Point Reyes. The couple there owned one cottage that they rented out to tourists. I think they were quite rather surprised at us, that we didn’t just “stay there at the cottage” all day long. Instead, of course, we wanted to get out and see things, go hiking ,go to the beach, see the scenery, etc. Apparently, most of their guests don’t do much of that, they just stay at the cottage all day. It may be a nice cottage and all, but what would be the point of doing that? I don’t get it. You’re gonna drive all the way out of the city to the ocean, and not even bother going to see it?

Of course, I was even worse than that. I got up at unbelievable hours to go photograph the sunrise. I probably almost gave the nice couple a heart-attack when they learned that I did that. Apparently, I did wake them when I turned on the car ignition in the morning too. Oh well.

This is a pre-dawn shot of a pier on Tomales Bay in Inverness. There were zero clouds in the sky again, except for the one little one there on the left side of the frame. I tried to make the most use of it in my photo that I could.
