During our Spain vacation this summer we stayed in Palamos on the Mediterranean coast. I went to this section of the coast for sunset and this cove was definitely the main attraction. While I was photographing this boat came in to anchor for the night. The sunset light wasn't too exciting so I decided to come back for sunrise which is when I made this image. It was a very peaceful morning and I was definitely jealous of the people in the boat. What a perfect spot to spend the night!
There isn't a good way to get down to the water from the above where I was shooting so later that day Allison and I rented a sea kayak at a nearby beach to round the cliffs and swim in this place. It was definitely our best beach experience of the trip.
Before we add any more bird photos from this beautiful place, here is an idea of what it's like to watch the birds from these cliffs... we saw gannets, puffins, razorbills, guillemots, kittiwakes and fulmars. A brilliant day!
With unstable cliff of vertical drop for few hundred feet, it offers intimidating view of rugged seashore.
I am absolutely fascinated by waves/sea/movement in water and could have stood there all day taking photographs. As it is I have about 100 of different variations on this one (don't worry, I won't post them all) ;-)
I didn't take this photo today, I took it a couple weeks ago, but if I had, the scene likely would have been different. This morning a man drove his car off the bluff and landed it on the beach at the bottom of the frame. Somehow he walked away with only moderate injuries. If you're interested in reading more about the incident, here's a link to an article: www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/jul/29/man-drives-off-bluff-...
The wall as I saw it last Sunday looks impressive and beautiful, with a long and gentle slope, amazing geological lines and the nice tones of sandstone. Maybe the picture needs something else... a pair of seagulls, a glider, dramatic clouds, a dinosaur footprint... Or maybe it doesn't... Tomorrow I'll go back there for dawn and sunrise. Wanna come?
The first light of the day strikes a fog bank off the coast of Sunset Cliffs Park in San Diego. The seascape conditions were not spectacular during our trip to San Diego last week, but we did catch some good soft light during this morning. Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!
