Salt Air


Why They Call It The Cliff House

As I was taking in the salt air down by the Cliff House yesterday I wondered if there was another term, like shinrin-yoku for "forest bathing," but for "sea air bathing." Apparently shinrin-yoku is a broad enough term to take in both, and more.

There was a good-sized swell rolling in, but the only surfers were pelicans riding the updrafts along the face of the swells. I watched one large group surf a beautiful wave with perfect grace. I've tried to get still shots of them doing that, but it really needs to be video, and probably shot in slow-motion to better savor the ride.
