California Coast, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

Coast of California from State Route 1

State Route 1 through California runs along the western shore of California. The drive is quite windy as it runs along the shore most of the drive, but it is one of the most beautiful drives I have been on. This shot was taken from a pull-out just south of the town of Big Sur, taken early evening. The lightness of the image is from fog coming up from the water.

Hello Amber! Thanks for the great view. You angled the cliffs well in the scene creating good depth. I think you might try this one as B&W since the conditions weren't conducive to good color capture.

Hi, Amber,
I loved that drive, too. California has a wondrous coastline and you have done a great job presenting it. I love the different shades of gray with touches of red in contrast. Your shot is beautifully divided and balanced and the composition is simple but lovely. REALLY pretty, moody shot! Thanks and have a great weekend,
Shelly

Hi Dr. Amber (congrats!)

I love the tone and color of this .. the way the color of the sea almost blends with the sky and water ... tremendous and soft spoken powerful scene.

take care,

John
