Today, we had breakfast at the Madonna Inn, drove past Harmony to San Simeon and toured the Hearst mansion, had a picnic lunch in Cayucos and drove down to near San Diego.

Can't improve on this... :) On the way from SLO to San Simeon.

There's James, sprawled out in a wicker chair in front of Casa Grande, as though he were a Hearst guest of old...

Kissing statuary Kissing statuary

The Hearst mansion is full of mixtures of old relics and artwork together with recent art done in complementary styles. Witness the recent statue next to the much older urn.

I think that the kissing couple might make a good user icon... (grins).

We finally found picnic tables -- at Cayucos, at their municipal pier where there was a BBQ area. It was foggy and cool near the beach... but not terribly warm even inland.

Take your pick:





I wonder if there's a geocache near the Harmony sign...

I really like the first two shots.

I'm kinda confused about what it is that you like about the kissing statuary-- can you tell me? (I think I'm having the response to the "naked woman, dressed man" part, while you're probably seeing it in a different light)

If rendered as a default icon, one would draw a suspension from LJ Abuse -- for a photo of a piece of art owned and displayed publicly by the State of California... ;-).
