Alice on the West Coast

A West Coast travel note on Alice the Doberman, shoreline walking, and scale beneath a rocky headland.

Person walking a dog along a wide beach beneath a rocky headland

Alice gives the beach its pace.

The West Coast is wide around her: surf, sand, headland, and open air. The person and Doberman are small enough that the shoreline can be felt as a place, not just a background.

I like dog photographs that keep the environment in the story. The animal is the subject, but the walk is the memory.

Travel photography often becomes more personal this way. A familiar companion can make a vast coast feel close.
