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 > These small, compressed image files just don't do this justice; there is an incredible amount of detail in these images that just have to be seen at full size. This is another view of the windcaves and the Carrizo Badlands.
