May 25, 2005 - Cover Shot?

Potential cover shot for the second printing of my book, the Backroads of Southern California.

The photograph looks north and takes in a slice of Highway 1 between Malibu and Oxnard, as viewed from Deer Creek Road, in the Santa Monica Mountains.

(To me, this brings together several elements emblemataic to the southern half of the state: the coastline on a sunny day, mountains, desert vegetation (the blooming agave or century plant) and spring wildflowers.

Yes, emblematic of Southern Cal back roads ...

I agree, this would be a great cover shot for any travel book. No other highway embodies California than the PCH. Great job. Sam http://www.pbase.com/bircher

Nice to have so many elements combined. I love all that blue with no sky included.

Yup, great cover, I'd buy it just to find that road.

Oh wow this is awesome how you shot this in this height and how you were able to give this feeling of height through your picture. Great job, wonderful scene.

This is a beauty, Dave, and illustrates the title well.
