CareyPhotography > Torrey Sandstone is a middle Eocene (48,000,000 years old) rock formation originally deposited as a sandbar. The loose sand was cemented later by calcite from water flowing through the sand. Few fossils are found in the sandstone because not many creatures live in a sand bar.

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 > "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.
