Photographs: California: Clam Beach On our 2007 trip to Eureka and points north we stopped at Clam Beach right after breakfast. Here are Ian and Sean walking out to the sand. February 18, 2007 Sean made sure we stopped to read all the rules before heading out to the sand. February 18, 2007 The waves breaking in this photograph are farther away than they appear to be. February 18, 2007 There is a stream that runs down from the moutains, under the 101 and out the ocean. We had to cross it to get to the beach. This photograph provided inspiration for a digital art piece in June 2007. February 18, 2007 Here the creek widens as it hits the sandy beach. I used the drift wood in this photograph as inspiration for a drawing called "Driftwood" in April 2007. February 18, 2007 There's the shadow of me carrying Harriet in the sling. February 18, 2007 I loved the way this old tennis ball had disturbed the lines the wind had made in the sand. February 18, 2007 We returned to the parking lot. This scrubby grass marks the end of the beach. Febraury 18, 2007 This page updated March 2008 All work © 1997-2008 Sarah Sammis |
