Morro Rock
Morro Rock --- By Vincent Lowry
“Beneath a blue dome, above an azure sea
A volcanic prodigy stands proudly to the heavens
Caressed by the tide; encircled by a cloud of feathered hunters
Nature’s landmark beckons a sojourn for all sea-drained travelers
Its base, a dozen vessels strong; its peak, a half-score of stacked masts
Those at shore stand and marvel
The brilliance of the bay
The uncompromising grandeur and enchantment of Morro Rock”
That poem by Vincent Lowry simplifies the beauty of Morro Bay. Perhaps most notable is its namesake, Morro Rock, which sticks out prominently from the ocean as if it were a Pacific version of Gibraltar.
Arrived for sunset at Morro Bay, could not find the best location for photographing it. The wind was strong, took couple photos on the beach, returned at dark next morning (after searching best sunrise location online). The photo was taken before blue hour, manually focusing, capturing the stars on the sky! 😉 Great beach to collect shells and capture the sand patterns later after golden hour!
