The conditions were pretty good for most of the shoot but we were chased away at sunset by a overzealous park ranger. The colors for this shot looked kind of funky so I did a b&w conversion.

Taken Apr 30th 2008 at the far north end of Crystal Cove State Park, CA. I kind of like this one because it's a retake from a previous (failed) visit. I got the foreground rocks the way I wanted and the weather was cooperative. I did not want a clear blue sky and was pleased with these conditions.
