The Big Sur coast is an amazing site to behold with its turquoise water, monolithic spires of ancient rock eroded by constant pounding of surf. Truly an inspiring place for all, but especially for artists. Watching sunsets here is akin to witnessing the unveiling of a new masterpiece every day. The more I review my Big Sur photos the more I want to return. As for this photo it was taken after my Primitive Coast III and Big Sur Crashing Surf photos just as the last light of the day illuminated the coast. That last glimmer of light is always special, but very much so in this location with the vibrant colors in the rocks, water and sky.

It’s no wonder that I love nature photography so much. The first 18 impressionable years of my life was spent in the Big Sur area. What an impact! Your image is beautiful, Jim. I hope you make an opportunity to go back soon 🙂
Nice capture there. Big Sur is one of my favorite places, not only to photograph, but to stare off into the sunset, watch surfers, stroll on the beach, or hike in the Redwoods. It is a magical land.
David it is really a special place. Great minds think alike 🙂
Great place to grow up Julie!
Beautiful image, Jim! There is something really special about that coastline, especially with the great shapes of the rocks just offshore.
