Monterey Coast: 17 Mile Drive

Public domain

Erisava: This is nearly a postcard. I can't decide if that's a knock against it.

What's your take?

The title's a road — 17-Mile Drive is apparently a scenic toll route around Pebble Beach, and it was already a tourist draw when this was painted. So people were paying to see this exact view over a century ago.
