Sightseeing in Carmel-by-the-Sea: Photo Journal

There is something beautiful to see everywhere you look in Carmel-by-the-Sea, and the romance of it all was painfully obvious as I explored alone, wishing there was someone with me to share it with. But as nice as it would have been to have a companion with me on the trip, I did still have a lot of fun walking around by myself and feeling free to pause and take artistic photos without annoying someone.

Here are some of the things I saw throughout my trip that made me certain that I want to return to Carmel someday.

I hope you enjoyed this trip to Carmel-by-the-Sea through my eyes…er, lens. It truly is a dreamy place, and one that I will visit again for sure.

    I haven’t heard of the place and it looks romantic. 😀 I would love to be able to visit there someday! I can already imagine the poses and where I am going to take them. LOL. #selfies

    This is such a nice place! I wish I could visit, however, I live far from California and at this point in time, I could not squeeze in a trip to that wonderful place. I will have to plan for 2016 and include Carmel in my “must-be-there” places to see list.

    I have visited Carmel several times and it truly is a beautiful place. These are really nice pictures that are motivating me to make some plans to vacation in Carmel sometime this winter.

    I would love to explore that place! I love that small town feel with all the mom and pop restaurants! My brother lives in California I think I will have to take a trip out there.

    Now this sounds like a place I could visit. Those Calaveras look awesome… we have those in our store windows about now, as well. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

    Everything does look so pretty! I love all the arch windows, and doorways. I had a graduation ceremony in a Frank Lloyd Wright building. It wasn’t as cool looking as that building.
