Golden Light over Golden State

A few images taken in northern California coast along Highway 1 during a family vacation trip several years ago.

California coast is such as photogenic place, and countless places to take grate landscape photos.  Even though these photos were taken with the now obsolete Minolta A2, and image quality-wise they can't be compared to those taken from the latest 5D Mk II and L lenses, but still, the beauty of northern California can be clearly seen here.
