Mendocino, California




New England meets the Wild West on the California coast....

'East of Eden' was partly filmed here

After the spring floods the beaches are piled with driftwood. Sea cold but no worse than West Wales




Fogbank in the distance, but sunshine here


I wonder who carved this coastal totem...




 



Roots art centre, gallery and garden extraordinaire

Succulents love this climate
















The first European settlers here were from New England




Weathervanes galore....





The fog rolls in...

Since 1975 I've loved Kate McGarrigle's song Talk to Me of Mendocino - and now I know just what Mendocino is like. Thanks, James.

Thanks Neil - I don't think it normally looks quite so sunny, more often grey and foggy!
