Private Coastal Rolling Hills
Land set aside for state, federal and county parks here in Northern California is often breathtaking and unique. But shooting on public land can be complicated. The permit process takes time while the need for rangers doesn't allow for the flexibility many photographers are hoping for. Privately owned property doesn't have as many restrictions so we do our best to find the rare parcels that can compete with the splendor of the parks in the area.Like this one, north of San Francisco on Tomales Bay. This spectacular working ranch offers coastal and bay vista views, rolling hills, a grand ravine and access to the bay shore. The ranch is a working sheep farm, cattle spot the landscape and miles of road wind about the property. With out a doubt, this parcel stands up to much of the public open space in that area. There is so much this land has to offer that we have to make another visit to cover the rest. In the mean time, here is a sneak peak from our first visit to the property.
