Cannibal Island in HUmboldt County, California

Cannibal Island Welcoming Commitee

Posted by Stephen Phillips (San Francisco, United States) on 27 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

We've arrived. Here - four of the island residents have come to greet us. I was surprised to find the road, cows, beach, and surf - all come together right here. That's the Pacific Ocean - straight ahead.

We feel like in the car with you.. What a wild place... but a little sad with the rain always... Like your humorous title.

An interesting combination, all. Can't wait to see the Pacific over the rise. Are we there, yet?

Mooooo! Reminds me of a trip I made to Ireland years ago. You had to be careful when rounding curves on their narrow roads to avoid getting a windscreen full of horns and hooves!

Fun image.

Neat composition. I like the view in the mirror - where you've been and where you're headed all in one image! And, of course, I love the cows! They look a bit like secret service all dressed in black and mulling around like that.
