These are some of the pictures I have taken using my point-and-shoot camera (Canon 890IS.) I used  Paintshop Pro to enhance them.  BTW, these were taken during my trip to "Carmel By The Sea" in September 2009. I visited the beach at Carmel, Downtown Carmel and the Hyatt Highlands Inn about 5 minutes South of downtown Carmel. Hyatt Highlands Inn is such a beautiful resort overlooking a nice cove.
