California之17-Mile Drive

从Stanford大学开到17 -Mile Drive 只需要两个小时。
17-Mile Drive (十七哩海岸）是连接Pacific Grove 和 Pebble Beach 之间的海岸公路。
要开进这条公路每辆汽车都需要付USD9.50。
十七哩内有21个景点，都是很美的海岸风光，豪华的别墅，闻名的高尔夫球场。
在十七哩照出来的照片美得像是一幅画，很不可思议。
尤其是蓝篮的大海。。。虽然是吹着冷风但是还依然陶醉在其中。

Just another 2 hours drive from Stanford University to 17-Mile Drive.

17-Mile Drive is a scenic route along the coast through Pacific Groove and Pebble Beach. $9.50 fee imposed on every vehicle entering this scenic route. There are a total of 21 view points, consists of beautiful and clear beaches, luxury bungalows and well-known golf courses. The picture captured is like a beautiful hand-drawn painting, so awesome and unbelievable.

Especially the view of deep blue colour of big ocean... very very cold breeze but I enjoy tremendously.

在入口处我们拿了一份地图就跟着走了，一路上也有明确的路标。
Got a map guide at the entrance, there are road signs along the route too.

蔚蓝的海！

虽然是同一个海岸但是却有着不同的的蓝色，

甚至有些在 照片理好像假的，这所谓美如画吧！

Azure (blue) ocean! Same coast but different tones of blue colours. Some photos are like a fake one... as beautiful as like a real painting.

十七哩的其中一个景点~ Bird Rock

成群的海鸟与海狮聚居在海岸不远处的巨石晒太阳，多么的享受啊！

One of view point - Bird Rock. Countless of shore birds and sea lions are gathred here for sun bathing, really a delightful leisure for them.

十七哩的另一景点~ Ghost Tree

很诡异的名字对吧。。。

这里的柏树因为长期受海风与海气的影响，树皮都是白色，枝干也是东歪西扭的。

Another view point - Ghost Tree

Weird name, isn't it?

The cypress has been bleached white from wind, even the trunks are slanting in all directions.

十七哩最有名的景点~ The Lone Cypress

据说这颗古老柏树已经孤立在那岩石上而且还经历了强烈的海风侵袭超过250年了。

现在需要钢索帮支撑着的柏树，希望能超越300年。

这棵柏树可是有注册商标的，所以未经授权是不能乱用。

Famous landmark - The Lone Cypress

The cypress has prevailed on its rocky perch and has withstood the Pacific wind and storm for over 250 years. Fences and cables now offer added prorection in the hope it will live to be 300. All cypress have their own trademark registered, unauthorize use are illegal.

Spanish Bay 是十七哩的最后一个景点

可以看到很多人停在这里野餐。

无意中给我找到的心形石头^^把它带回家做纪念

Spanish Bay is the last view point.

A lot of people were picnic here.

So lucky that I found this love shaped rock as my own souvenir.

可爱的松鼠~ 它不怕人啊而且很贪吃

假装手里有食物它就上当了:P

你看它贪吃的样子是不是很可爱呢？
Lovely squirrel - not afraif of people and very "tam chiak"

When to you have food in your hand, they will come near you. Extremely cute while they were eating.
