This picture is fairly “old,” but it’s recent to me because I am just taking a second look at it this year. It was made at a time when I used the view camera for everything. On this day I walked out toward Ten Mile Beach and was arrested by this scene instead.
This is a fine place to view geology in action — as I write, I am sitting a few miles away from this lagoon, at a kitchen table on the Pacific Plate, looking across water in the San Andreas Fault, toward hills on the North Pacific Plate.
