This candle is near and dear to me. It reminds me of the drive from my Grandparents' house in Oregon's beautiful Willamette Valley out to the coast.
You see so many types of landscapes on the way. You drive through orchards and vineyards, past farms with dry fields that smell like dirt and manure, and through dry forests where you can see where they've been doing controlled burns to prevent wildfires and rejuvenate the local habitat. Then as you get closer to the ocean you start seeing huge pine trees covered with lush bright green moss before those twisty winding roads open up to the ocean and that salty smell hits you. It will always be one of my favorite drives.
