In reply to: BC 's message, "Hearst Ranch Winery" on 12:41:06 01/21/11 Fri

...there's a pier located on the other side of Highway 1 - across from the Hearst Castle ...
not far from "Sebastians General Store" - which I believe might "house" the "tasting room" of the winery?!

anyways ...
early in the day, there's a "mist" which surrounds and secludes the castle ...
- sat on that pier for the better part of one morning
- waiting for the mist to rise in order to take a photo! :)
- but, it was worth it!
- 'cause in the process of waiting I also saw a sea otter relaxing in the water
- floating on his back with his "arms" folded across chest
- beside a guy in a kayak! :)

at the end of this video it shows a view of the castle in the mist ...


not too far from the castle there is a beach "dedicated" solely to elephant seals ...
(on land they're kinda like a "slow-moving" vehicle)...


but, once they hit the water ...
they switch into an entirely different "gear" ...
- an elephant seal in his "element" - swimming

- BC :)

... so, I've been sitting here at my computer in TN - for the better part of the afternoon - working on homework ...
and, decided to check our local forecast as to the possibility of MORE SNOW! - current temps?! 41 degrees and "sinking" fast! :)

... out of curiosity - checked the current temps in San Simeon, CA? - still 'round about 70 degrees! :)
now, there's only about "one degree" of difference - "latitudinally speaking" - in Lebanon, TN and San Simeon, CA ...
(about 69 "statute" miles difference - north to south)...
so, what's up with that?! :)

- searched YouTube, and found a video of San Simeon Cove ...
