Rest Stop at Sunset

Sunset through the Eucalyptus trees.

California has some of the nations worst highway rest stops in the country.  Well, at least the ones I have seen.  So far in my travels, I would have to rate Oregon as having the best rest stops.  Clean, well landscaped, well maintained, and even some have attendants who serve cookies and coffee!

Well, today as I drove south along the coast I stopped at one near Oceanside for two reasons.  We won’t go into the first reason, but the second was that it was within just a very few minutes until sunset.  I do love sunsets, and have not had many good chances to photograph a good one. 

Today was an excellent chance.  I found a good spot and waited about five minutes.

I also got a great sign, which was posted nearby.  Hope you enjoy both.
