Sunlight and Water: Making Blueprints by Hand

0 ore
Anulare gratuită

To our knowledge, there is no activity like this happening anywhere. There are lots of people around the world making Cyanotype prints, but for anyone to be able to come into a studio and leave with Cyanotype prints made by them from photos in their phones in under a half hour is unheard of. And this kind of activity is perfect for visitors to the Mendocino Coast. The deep blue of the Cyanotype print mimics the clear deep blue of the sea, just a stone's throw from our studio. There's still a hint of mystery and magic that we've captured with our many mermaid and sea creature themes. The rich history of the coast makes a process from the 1840s bring everything to new life in a beautiful, calming color. The perfect way to capture the essence of every visit to the Mendocino Coast.

Beautiful! Park on side of road where there’s room for ~8 cars, then take the less obvious path a few feet north, at the northern end of the parking strip, through a meadow and down to the beach, then continue north to bowling ball.

Frumos, chiar dacă nu a fost cea mai joasă maree. În afară de "mingi", multe formațiuni de rocă sunt foarte artistice. Parcarea este foarte limitată de-a lungul drumului, dar există și un drum de pământ în fața capului traseului unde pot parca mai multe mașini.

Beautiful, even if not the lowest tide. In addition to the "balls", lots of rock formations are quite artistic. Very limited parking along the road, but there is also a dirt road in front of the trail head where more cars can park

Am vizitat această plajă pe 2 iulie 2020. Nu a trebuit să plătesc pentru parcare, Parcarea este pe drum. Este o zonă mică, care probabil poate ține aproximativ 8 mașini. Traseul este un pic complicat, are 2 căi diferite de a intra în ocean. Am mers pe ambele. Cea cu semnul și imaginea plajei Bowling Ball mă ducea către o plajă fascinantă. Traseul fără imagine și semn mă ducea spre multe trepte și jos în ocean. Era un pic abrupt, dar a fost distractiv să merg pentru că a trebuit să trec peste multe bușteni uscați. De îndată ce am intrat în ocean, partea distractivă a început. Am văzut formațiuni de rocă interesante. M-a făcut să vreau să rămân acolo puțin mai mult, nu pentru frumusețea oceanului, ci pentru acele roci. Sunt o rocă și roci, dar sunt foarte speciale. Sunt formate de valurile oceanului. Sunt formațiuni foarte interesante. Cu siguranță voi încerca să ies cât mai aproape de mareea scăzută posibil pentru a vedea din nou acele formațiuni de rocă unice.

I visited this beach on July/2/20. I did not have to pay for parking, The parking is on the road. It is small area, probably can hold about 8 cars. The trail is a little tricky, it has 2 different ways to enter the ocean. I was hiking both. The one with the sign and the picture of Bowling Ball Beach was leading me to fascinating beach. The trail without the picture and the sign leading me to many steps and down to the ocean. it was a little steep but it was fun to hike since I had to crossover a lot of dry logs. As long as I enter the ocean the fun part was beginning. I saw interesting rock formations. It made me want to stay there a little longer not for the beauty of the ocean, but for those rock. They are a rock and rocks, but they are very special. They are building by the waves of the ocean. They are so interesting formations. I definitely try to head out as low tightest possible to see that unique rock formations again.
