Fantastic Shots... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

I presume the photos were taken of the Pacific Ocean rather than San Francisco Bay?

Whereabouts is the Lighthouse located on the Coast?....Point Reyes (via Marin County)?

..and the rusty railway lines look as though they don't get used very often...

...obviously not a regular Bart route?... ;D... ;D...!

Fantastic shots to add to my views of Silicon Valley, etc... :)...!

that would be Pigeon Point which is about 25 miles south of half moon bay. If i had more time i would have gone up to san fransisco can come back home but i told my parents that i'd be home around 3.

for some reason i think those tracks are still somewhat used because there are fairly new crossing guards up the way where the tracks cross the road. They may just be rusty from the salty air.

Thanks for the Comments guys!

Pigeon Point...>>>

Half way between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz.

...and the road would be "Highway 1", (following the Coast to Los Angeles!).

I will have to add a lighthouse there with my FS 2004 Scenery Designer...;)...!

Many thanks again for the Photo's...!

My car did really well to. One of the first times its been able to get out on the open road. Used LESS than 1/4 of a tank for the whole trip (total tank size 15 gallons). I figure i got about 30 MPG. And that's on a 3.1L V6 :o

The only thing that could use improvement was the cornering. Lots of body roll and under-steer. :-/

Great shots!  My wife and I are planning a trip down to San Diego via Highway 1, you should go down there when you have a chance, the cliffs are amazing via Hwy 1.
