CareyPhotography > The Torrey Pine is the rarest native pine tree in the U.S. Also known as the Del Mar Pine or the Soledad Pine, the wild population is restricted to about 7,000 trees growing in a narrow strip along the California coast in San Diego. There is also a population of a variety (Pinus torreyana var. insularis) in a single grove on Santa Rosa Island, off the coast of Santa Barbara.
CareyPhotography > A large natural sea cave below the sandstone bluffs of La Jolla, California. Brown pelicans and cormorants are frequently seen resting on top of the bluff.
CareyPhotography > The Ocean Institute in Dana Point, California, is nationally recognized for its for its hands-on marine science, environmental education and maritime history programs. Docked in front of the Institute are the Research Vessel "Sea Explorer" and the tall ship "Pilgrim", a reproduction of the brig immortalized by Richard Henry Dana in his book "Two Years Before the Mast".
CareyPhotography > "La Tour" at Victoria Beach, one of the best known landmarks in Laguna Beach, California. The 60 foot Norman style tower was built in 1926 with a wooden spiral staircase in the tower's interior to permit access to the beach for the people who live in the home on the bluff. It is made of poured concrete and has an ocean stone foundation with a conical shingled roof.

CareyPhotography > Lush plant life grows on the uniquely undulating outcroppings of the Monterey Formation at the southern end of Newport Beach, California. The Miocene era Monterey Formation is comprised mainly of diatomite and since it contains some of the largest oil and gas reserves in the continental United States it has been widely studied for over a century. The Newport Beach coastline is a wonderful example of syncline and anticline folds in the bedrock.
