heading home
I take liberties (once again) with the photo challenge theme: HOME since this is more about the journey than the destination: heading up the coast from Big Sur to SW Oregon.
What better way to start the day than a stroll along Fortuna’s River Walk along the Eel River.

My pleasure!
Beautiful photos!
Thank you Cristian.
All the shots are lovely but my favorite is the second to last one. Stunning. And I LOVE the quote “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” Indeed.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the sweet words… it never ceases to amaze me that I landed in this corner of the world that has so many awesome places of beauty.
What a lovely place for walks.. I did love that Movie; Kite runner!
I stumbled upon that lovely walk purely by accident. I’m so glad I didn’t miss it.
Sounds and looks like your journey home was much more relaxing than the outward leg. Beautiful results!
The journey home was far more fun, too. I took an extra day to enjoy it more. Thanks!
Those shots are breathtakingly beautiful!
Thank you very much, QSP.
Those shot are gorgeous, Gunta
Glad you liked them, Hope.
Neat twist – great photos.
Thanks, Andrew.
