- It's nice that two people can see the same places and write two very difference lenses about them. I didn't know about yours when I wrote mine, but now I'm going to put this on my lensroll for My Ultimate Home School Monterey County Field Trip. I did more with photos, while you show the motion in the videos. Truly the Monterey County Coast is a must see.
