Before I go any further I must state that at Lover’s Point there will always be a seagull or there will always be a squirrel. Now that that’s out of the way, this lovely half park, half beach is a top choice for photo sessions. Nestled between the Monterey Bay Aquarium and 17 Mile Drive, Lover’s Point is possibly Pacific Grove’s top attraction (although I’m sure some monarch butterflies will have a say about that).
Eventually, after a couple of turns and road changes (Siri had a hard time keeping up!) we arrived at our destination. The cave was large but also largely hidden by its surroundings. ! I’m used to squeezing myself into old mine shafts but you could walk in standing up! Let’s be real, if you enjoy the smell of bat urine and guano, this is the cave for you.
We finally arrive at the Tunnel View and I get my first shot off at 9:54pm. Almost an hour later than I would have liked, but, here we are. The valley was dark. Only the odd tail light from distant cars were seen as they made their way through the valley. There was no wind. Very peaceful. The moon was bright and behind us, illuminating the face of Half Dome, a little over 8 miles away.
Above the rest. Revolving around you.
