Sunset on the Beach, Big Sur

Posted by Gary Hart (California, United States) on 5 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This is another shot I uncovered as I searched my archives for images for my book. My publisher has been asking for sunrise ocean shots, but I've had to explain that here on the West Coast the best ocean images are usually found at sunset. The problem at sunrise is our coastal mountains that come right down to the beach and prevent the sun's rays from reaching the ocean until the sun is quite high in the sky. And a shot toward the sunrise color in the east doesn't usually include the ocean (barring a twist that re-orients the general north-south orientation of the California shoreline).
