Water as Waves, Mist and Clouds

Big Sur Waves, Mist and Clouds

Big Sur Waves, Mist and Clouds

A few days ago I ventured down to Big Sur with my camera to take advantage of the first sunny coastal forecast in weeks.  When I arrived I still found a fair amount of fog and mist.  I took a couple of pictures, then waited to see what the weather would do.  

After some hiking around, I realized that although the conditions weren’t what I'd expected, the scenery was beautiful and grand all the same.  I​n fact, the coastal vistas were just as they normally are here in northern California, so I stopped waiting for the elements to “improve”.

I’ve a few favorite photos from Big Sur, but this one in particular, which I’m calling Big Sur Waves, Mist and Clouds, really captures the essence of place. I love that the photograph shows three forms of water at Big Sur's shoreline: water as ocean waves, water as mist, and water as vapor in the clouds above.   

Big Sur Waves, Mist and Clouds is available here in my online store.
