Now the continuing part of my relaxed days on the California Central Coast. The area between Santa Maria and Cumbria.
I decided to take a look at Hearst Castle in Cumbria. I had not seen that in 2 decades and it was time to take some digital photos as I lost my old negatives. Have a look at the photos below of the beautiful Spanish-architecture inspired towers, the nice mosaic patio floor, the Neptune pool in repair (unfortunately), the various statutes (replicas of classic ones), wall mosaics, and, of course, the in-door pool. This pool is absolutely gorgeous. Lots of little hidden decorations as well. I inserted here the mermaid playing the flute.
Now, very nearby are the seals and elephant seals. Always great to watch in action. Also, it was time for sunset after Hearst Castle visit (easy to spend an entire day). Lots to photographs.
Have a look at the nice sunset I encountered (quite a few times this week).
Enjoy the photos and also go visit the gorgeous area.
Johan.
