We’re proud to present our latest installment in our effort to highlight creators across the 805, and to bring our motto, “We Are All One Under the Sky,” to life in a visual way.
Juan Leon is a photographer and filmmaker based in Grover Beach. He writes:
“The Central Coast is the perfect getaway for anyone looking for natural beauty with a sense of calm that’s hard to find elsewhere. Rolling hills meet golden beaches, and every bluff invites exploration, each one offering a new angle, a hidden cave, or a view worth chasing. It is out there, where one can block out the noise of every day life and be fully present in the moment. As the day winds down, the coastline transforms, and waiting for the sunset becomes a ritual, with the sky painting itself in colors that make every landscape feel alive. It’s a place where patience and presence meet opportunity, giving photographers the perfect stage to create timeless images.”
Juan’s pictures capture a number of stunning spots in the 805, including:
Kayaks, Los Osos
The pier, San Simeon
A cave, Shell Beach
The road, San Luis Obispo
Goodnight, 805.
