A tunnel to the past. Point Reyes National Seashore
This evocative photo of a cypress-lined road was taken in Point Reyes National Seashore, a marine and coastal reserve under the care of the National Park Service in the US. A portion of the park preserves the marine habitat in the harbours along the coast of the Point Reyes Peninsula on California's central coast. Inland, the area’s grasslands, marshlands, and wooded uplands present a notably diverse collection of landscapes – including the cypress tunnel.
It's worth noting that at the end of this tree-lined cul-de-sac is an old ship-to-shore radio station known as KPH. It's mostly a historic site that still broadcasts locally but was once a vital communications relay for the many ships that passed by Point Reyes, especially during World War II.
