The Cypress Tree Tunnel is what one travels through to get to an historic building used by RCA long ago to communicate with ships in the Pacific. It has become famous because the cypress trees and path form a tunnel leading to the old building. When I drive by this spot there are usually one or more people standing there taking photos. As a person who is primarily a wildlife photographer, I’ve driven by there hundreds of times in the past 15 years and never stopped to photograph the tunnel. Recently, I decided I ought to do that some time. A month ago I was driving by and no one was there. So, I stopped and took a few quick held-held “snapshots” with a not-ideal 100-500 mm lens (at 100 mm) just to be able to look at some photos at home to see if I should bother to go back for some more serious photos with a wider angle lens on a tripod, at sunset. Maybe HDR. I’m surprised that the photos, like the one above, were fairly good. That makes me want to go back and try for better results.
This photo, along with all others now on my new website, is available to purchase as a high quality fine art print to hang on your home or office wall.
