Looking down ... I should be careful here!

Also, note the wildflowers in the grass. I got some nice shots of them, which I'll be posting later.

What an unusual form the land has taken… any particular reason for this "cut out"? Gorgeous view.

Hi wifey, I think I can answer this. The whole Marin coast is a bunch of slices of various kinds of rock, all mixed like a deck of cards. I looked at this notch as we were walking by, and the cliff in front of the camera (the part you can't see) is all serpentine rock, whereas the cliffs on the right and left are sandstone. Serpentine is generally weak and crumbly, and the Pacific surf makes short work of it. Here's what it looks like:

Thank you Alden… sorry I didn't respond sooner… your description is excellent! Now if you could just find that cave in southern Cali where the Spaniards hid all their gold! :)
