California Travel - Big Sur - Toronto Photographer

There are some places, you will never forget. My favourite part of our California Travel – Big Sur. For a girl born in small town Ontario, no where near the ocean, I have always felt happiest right beside it. The roar the of the waves and the many colours of blue. This was my first time laying my eyes on the Pacific Ocean. I had heard about Big Sur. I’d read about it, spent hours searching for images of it – and nothing could have prepared me for how incredible it actually was. As we stood on the edge of the cliffs, these words kept running through my mind. They always do when I stand beside the ocean.

The Coastline

I’m leaving home for the coastline

Some place under the sun
I feel my heart for the first time
‘Cause now I’m moving on, yeah
I’m moving on

And there’s a place that I’ve dreamed of
Where I can free my mind
I hear the sounds of the season
And lose all sense of time

I’m moving far away
To a sunny place
Where it’s just you and me
Feels like we’re in a dream
You know what I mean

The summer air by the seaside
The way it fills our lungs
The fire burns in the night sky
This life will keep us young, yeah
Keep us young

And we will sleep by the ocean
Our hearts will move with time
And we will wake in the morning
To see the sun paint the sky

I’m moving far away
To a sunny place
Where it’s just you and me
Feels like we’re in a dream
You know what I mean // Hollow Coves

The first batch of pictures are of Big Sur, California. The second batch are of a place I discovered a few months before leaving for our trip last year, Shark Fin Cove. And if you love this, visit my other post on California HERE and HERE.
