Panga returning from Encinada Coronado

North of town, on the way to Aleiandro y Imelda's "La Picazon".
There is a local expression here, "Loreto, where the mountain dips her feet into the sea."

Encinada Coronado. Boat captains are jazzed this year. Business is brisk this holiday season.

Nature's symmetry.

A special Cardon on the Island.


Looking back toward Loreto.

Mountain worshipers.

Punta Candelero. Gringo fishermen know this as "Snoopy rock".

A bigger picture.

Punta Piedra Blanca.

Punta Lobos.

In a bikini, 4 days before Christmas. It's snowing somewhere.

Lobos again.

Punta Lajas (pargo, yellow tail, cabrilla . . . )

Isla Carmen across the way.

Mujer Dormida. Knees, breast & head . . . aim toward Loreto here.

There she is again.

Punta Lagrima, with the lighthouse.

Isla Coronados. Of the two white beaches ahead, the one on the left . . . Atracadoro is great refuge in a Norte.

Return to Loreto, Lady beyond.

The moon that night.
"Loreto's indelible beauty will be around long after America has dealt with Her problems."
