Cape Mendocino, 1982 / 2012

[whitetail]

I took bob_bunny on one of my favorite scenic drives yesterday: the old stagecoach road known locally as "The Wildcat." Our destination was Cape Mendocino, which is the westernmost point of land on the coast of California. When we got there, I took a photo of the Cape from the same spot as one I took 30 years previously. Here is the "then-and-now" view.

Wow, you lined that up almost perfectly. You're only off by one fencepost over 30 years. :-) Very interesting how the shrubs changed. The only one that may have survived (assuming it's even the same plant) is the one by the signpost.

*hug!* This just happened to be the 20,000th comment made to my LJ. FTW!

WOW they are both neat photos

Thanks! All credit goes to the scenery, however, not the photographer. ^^

I love how little has changed!

Me, too. This place is very special to me. I hope to see it just as unchanged 30 more years hence...

Wow, 30 years later and it hasn't changed much. You took the picture so close to the other one; amazing!
