About the Photography
The Golden Portal, by local photographer Richard Hall, was captured
at Big Sur's Pfeiffer Beach, a remote location south of Carmel.
Note the detailed simulacra of pictographs, petroglyphs, and natural
erotica on the face of the stone walls.
Capturing this visual treasure of mythical cache involves an unusual
alignment of conditions that only occur at sunset at the time of
Winter Solstice, only when that hour coincides with the receding of
the lowest of tidal conditions, and only if the skies are clear on that
particular day.

| China Cove |
China Cove is located at Point Lobos, a marine sanctuary south of
Carmel that is said to have inspired the locale of Robert Lewis
Stevenson's Treasure Island. A close look at this photograph reveals
sea otters frolicking in the water.
Inhabited first by the Ohlone natives, Point Lobos has also hosted, at
various periods of history, a Portugese whaling site, a Chinese
fishing village, and a Japanese abalone fishery.
