Where is this? (Specially cropped to remove landmarks!)

Not much of a hint, but it's on my old bike path in case you couldn't tell ;D

Tough one. My first reaction is over by the Blue Heron rookery. Between the museum and the rookery. Sure looks like light off the bay coming from the right.

Oh man, I'm going to have to try harder to be really, really obscure! I even cropped out the bay to make it harder.

Yup, the museum is dead ahead and rookery immediately behind. Miles and miles of little known coastline areas and you keep nailing it within 50-100 feet.

Geeez

OK, smart alec - where did I shoot this from? ;) Yes, all three are there and yes I was on my mountain bike!

If you can't nail it, I'll post a different one with a wider view.......

Up at the north end of the beach (where that path starts) you could get a shot like that if you cropped it to death. :)

Knowing you have them super duper telephoto lens......... Black Hill?

My daughter told me the Morro Bay High School gang sign was 3 fingers, almost like the Boy Scouts. It was supposed to represent the 3 stacks.

Looks like you got it again, Bob – Black Hill it is. Maybe I’ll slip in some Texas shots just to see if I can fool you.

I used to like to go up there to watch the sunrise a lot. Here is a wide shot from the same morning and another from a different sunrise. All from the hill.

Read that Black Hill got it's name because of a tar seep on the north side. I've only hiked up the regular trail so never seen it.

Morro Bay got it's name because the Spanish sailors who first saw that rock thought it looked like a Spanish Moor's helmet.

Marc,

Any pictures from Irish Hills? They say you can see Morro from there but everytime I've made the hike it's too foggy.

Bob knows far more about this area than I do... I've only lived here for 4 years.

and somewhere in the Los Osos Oaks Preserve is an oak tree with a cross carved into it by Potola's crew when they explored the California coast. I've seen pictures but never found the tree.

Portola stopped here to gather food and found the valley full of California grizzly bear, hence "The Valley of the Bears".

Gotta bone up on my gold rush history now since my new view will be of Eureka Peak and the Eureka gold mine.
