"Click on image for the Oceano Dunite High Resolution Selection Image"
Before off-road vehicles devegatated their portion of the Oceano Dunes, many people lived there.
During the depression these people established a bohemian community of free spirits and "casual" beach
cover. The Dunites' "cabins" and other signs of occupation are now totally
obliterated. However when the lighting is just right, their spirit can be sensed.
The "Oceano Dunite" image is part of the Sealth body of work which are digital images of
landscapes, scenics,
and the human form and are based on locations in the Oceano Dunes, San Luis Obispo, Big Sur,
Eastern Sierra, High Sierra and Central Coast of California.
