Amy and I spend the first weekend of September in Yountville, California at events designed to support the Bocuse d'Or USA team. It was amazing and something we'll never experience again (Thomas Keller catered to us, cooked for us, fed us). We then drove to the coast so we could travel the PCH down to San Francisco, and at our arbitrarily picked coastal site (Bodega Head) we saw whales migrating North to their breeding grounds.
It was a once in a lifetime experience, and we took a heroic pile of pictures in an attempt to document it. We did a poor job capturing the scope, but perhaps it'll give you an idea.
Below are a few of my favorite images from the collection.
