Big Waves on the Carmel Coast

On our little ‘Central-Coast’ California trip to find a Wedding B+B, we stopped over in Carmel and looked at a few places that we could stay in August. In the past I’ve only been to the Point Lobos area of Carmel, so it was nice to see more of the town [though it's not exactly reflected in the images below]. On the day we we arrived there were some amazingly huge waves, this man was out on the rocks and I was pretty sure he was going to get washed out at any second. He seemed pretty content listening to his iPod while counting the seconds till the tide came in more. We’re starting to do more Big Sur weddings, so I could get used to living up here…
About: Carmel-by-the-Sea, California
Carmel-by-the-Sea, usually called simply Carmel, is a small town endowed with a rich artistic history situated on the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County, California. In 1906, the San Francisco Call devoted a full page to the “artists, poets and writers of Carmel-by-the-Sea” and in 1910 it reported that 60 percent of Carmel’s houses were built by citizens who were “devoting their lives to work connected to the aesthetic arts.”
