A couple more photos of Torrey Pines today and tomorrow, then on to other things. One of the main trails in Torrey Pines State Reserve leads down to the beach, to a flat rock that is surprisingly named “Flat Rock.” As we flew over Flat Rock a couple was enjoying the late afternoon sun on the rock, watching us as we passed by. Are those beers in their hands? I zoomed in 100% in the high res photo and indeed they are sampling the grain. Classic! Oops, did I just say that? How impolitic of me. What I meant was: Awful, wanton, bad, bad people, inconsiderate drunks from out of town who should know better. Hard to fault them though, it was a great afternoon for it. Tomorrow I will post a panoramic view from where they were standing.

Torrey Pines seacliffs, rising up to 300 feet above the ocean, stretch from Del Mar to La Jolla. On the mesa atop the bluffs are found Torrey pine trees, one of the rare species of pines in the world. Torrey Pines State Reserve, San Diego, California, USA.
