Last night at 10:45pm, William McIntosh sent me a text, "70% chance of awesome sunrise at Leo Carrillo Beach". I immediately declined and he sent back "Boo". After checking Bill's conclusions on NWS and Skyfire it only took 30 secs to succumb. Alright I'm in, I replied. Again I would have to be up and ready to go in 5 hours. Forget it I'm not going to be able to sleep I thought to myself and I was right. I spent the next 4 hours studying and watching Youtube videos about photography locations. I have now been awake for 36 hours straight.
During our last trip to Malibu Beach, Bill and I ran into another photographer on the beach that turned out to be a real nice guy. While we where loading up the car Bill had ask him if he knew of any other interesting spots in the vicinity to shoot. The man says that just up Pacific Coast Highway about 10 miles was a cool little spot that he liked to shoot on occasion. A little spot found around lifeguard shack three just passed the parking area he says. It was already after Golden hour but Bill and I decided to go and scout it out for a future trip. What we found was such a cool location which we were "Surprised" to find included a double arch, several small sandy beaches, a flat reef shelf and a pass through cave leading to a little hidden beach while during sunrise has a beautiful glow entering it from the east. This is a shot of one side of the double arch, the view of the double arch can only be captured during the point of lowest tide but during high tide it is possible to capture one side of the arch which is seen here. The sky exploded with color and Bill has now dubbed me his lucky charm after 7 of our last 8 excursions were blessed with fantastic light. I'll take those odds anyday. Funny thing, I was just thinking the same about him. Hehe. Hope you like it!!! If you do please leave a quick comment.

Delicate Arch is one of Utah's most famous icons. You see images of it everywhere: on magazine covers, computer screen savers and license plates. But photos do not adequately convey the stunning beauty that hits you as you come over the ridge and see the arch in person for the first time.
Utah National Park situated along the Colorado River features more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches including its most photographed Delicate Arch. Arches National Park's landscape has been forming and changing for millions of years. It was made a national park in 1971 being previously named a national monument in 1929.
Thank you for your comments,

Broken Arch in Canyonlands National Park near Moab, Utah. The top of the arch is fractured in the middle, but so far the arch remains standing.

"Double Arch takes its name because it consists of two arches that share the same stone as a foundation for both of their outer legs. Double Arch was formed by downward water erosion from atop the sandstone, rather than from side-to-side water erosion."

Well, really Turret Arch, but a angle that makes the formation there really pronounced against the sky. Also liked the tree there growing out of the red earth and rock.
Shot taken at Arches National Park. I figured I would try something different for a change, and do a B&W image.
"Paris Streets 394, Three Arches." I captured this documentary panorama of Paris from a location above the Place du Carrousel–a window of the apartment of Napoleon III located in the Richelieu wing of the Louvre. The image spans the area from the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel (in the far left, foreground) to the Arc de Triomphe (to the right of the large Ferris wheel (Le Roue de Paris)) to the Grande Arche de la Défense (in about the middle of the cluster of high-rise buildings located at the horizon near the right side of the image). This is a straight line distance of more than 8 kilometers. Also visible are the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, École du Louvre (School Louvre), Jardin du Carrousel (Carrousel Garden), Jardin des Tuileries (Tuileries Garden), Eiffel Tower, Petit Palais (fine arts museum), and other historic and popular Paris landmarks and sites.
