From this morning at the old fishing village in China Camp State Park. The only break in the mixed layer overcast was forming to the southeast, so I raced up to the north bay and over to this old Chinese fishing village to frame it in the good light.

[from Wikipedia.org] "...A Chinese shrimp-fishing settlement thrived on this site in the 1880s. Nearly 500 people, originally from Canton, China, lived in the village. In its heyday, there were three general stores, a marine supply store and a barber shop. The site was used extensively in the filming of the 1955 movie Blood Alley starring John Wayne...."
