Color, Reflections, & Light

Sometimes, those 3 little elements (color, reflections, & light) can come together in just right way. This photo was taken right as the sun had dipped below the horizon. The tide was very low and there was a bit of swell in the water. As shadows slowly crept in, there was a faint glow on the surface of the wet sand. 

Central Coast Beauty II

This image is one of the reasons why I don't mind making the drive up north to San Francisco... the coast line north of Point Conception is spectacular. This is a little cove just north of Pismo Beach. 

The Coastal Marshes of Maine

An interesting thing about New England (when you compare it to more heavily populated areas down south or in California) is that most towns decided not to destroy the coastal marshes. They make for some beautiful view points, but also play an important role in preserving local wild life (although I did see two guys walking around with shotguns this day) and filtering water after a storm. In California, the rule of thumb was to wait 2-3 days after a storm before going back in the water to surf (unless the waves were really good. In New England, you can surf immediately after (or during) a storm with no issues.

Image taken from a coastal town in New Hampshire. The sun was just about to go down and was positioned right behind this house. It created a breathtaking silhouette.
