They call it the Lone Cyprus on the Monterey Bay but it really has a companion :)

Maybe they meant to call it 'lonely' as it only has one companion...... :)   Lovely perspective and view with the trees looking out to sea - and the light creates a great mood.

Very interesting stonework-I wonder why it was built. Glad that cypress has a nice companion. :) Lovely shot!

Wonderful vision of this marine image. I love the point of view that puts the two trees in perspective. I love the colors of the sky and the sea.
