The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco

We drove up north on the iconic Highway 1 along the Pacific Coast in Northern California. It's gorgeous up there. Early on we passed Stinson Beach, or more specifically, were stuck in traffic for over one hour at Stinson Beach. It turned out that the parking lot was full, and many drivers tried to negotiate with the traffic control to still enter the driveway to the parking lot, which caused the big traffic jam.

I processed a paintery and a balanced HDR photo from two RAW exposures, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
