In the 19th century, redwood trees were harvested and floated down the Navarro River to the Pacific Coast. The timber was loaded onto sailing ships which then sailed south to San Francisco where the wood was used in construction. Here we see reminders of those days in the driftwood at the coast where the Navarro empties into the Pacific. San Francisco is about 150 miles south; the 19th century logging community of Mendocino is a few miles north.

Very informative.
Yes the bridge in the post is the same as will be featured on Sunday.
Happy Easter to you. MB
I scanned the photo title and immediately assumed you had a new guest photographer named Driftwood. See how you have us trained? Anyway, it's nice to see that this driftwood deposit hasn't changed over the decades. I love this spot where the river runs into the sea.
interesting and a lovely capture
Don't let me loose...
A beautiful photo, lovely like a lovely day.
Beautiful image. So many levels to it, such wonderfl softness in colour. I could walk around here for hours.
Beautiful photo, which reminds me not only of California, but Cannon Beach in Oregon, where Bibi (the 4-legged one) ran happily!
We have no Redwood here. Transportation costs prohibit it. I wonder how our termites would like it? They seem to like everything else.
Oh goodness. I thought they were branches until I enlarged the photo and saw the two men. That's a lot of driftwood, and huge!
Lovely image, amazing colors. I must stop there when we go to Mendo next time.
I love the shape of the rocks all along the coast north of San Fran. Thank you for bringing them to me again!
and a blessed Easter season to you and Madame.
The water is such a pretty color in this picture!
