The Cliffs at Point Loma, San Diego, California
When I was in San Diego in August, I went to Point Loma, one of my favorite places in the city. It is the home of the old Point Loma Lighthouse, first used in November, 1855. It was quickly realized however, they had made a bad choice in location - fog and low clouds often obscured the light, and 36 years later, a new lighthouse was built in a more favorable location closer to the water.
There is a section of cliff there, below the old lighthouse, that intrigues me - I love how erosion and wind has created such intricate and interesting patterns in the cliffs.

This is a soft focus, black and white conversion of a shot with some brave, wind battered trees at the top of the cliff
