Ian, while searching for some images of Vasquez Rocks, I discovered your photos and have spent the past hour enjoying your various photo blogs. Have enjoyed every single picture and blog but must say this series of Hearst Castle is absolutely spectacular!
To J:
Thanks for the comments. It's always nice to hear when my pictures are appreciated!
Your blog is very enjoyable and the photographs very interesting. I'm planning a trip to Hearst Castle next year and can not wait to see it all in person.
Well, Marcia, thanks for the comment. I hope your visit is enjoyable. The whole area is lovely. Check out the local beaches too. And if you like wine, you're not far from Paso Robles where you can visit many wineries.
