Arches (3 per day)

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.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead my friends!! :)

Landscape Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. HDR processed with Lightroom, Photoshop, Luminar and Topaz Studio.
One of the last remaining arches at the South East Coast of Scotland, near Bilsdean village, can only be accessed during low tides. I find the structure fascinating and glorious in it's enormity. This part of the coast is full of landslides and fallen rocks scattered everywhere, coastal erosion truly at it's best.
Our schedule did not permit us to take a Milky Way or sunset shot at the Arches ...you'll just have settle for an early evening glimpse of the sun light refracting through the Arch.
Arches National Park, Utah
Shot taken at Arches National Park. I figured I would try something different for a change, and do a B&W image.
Delicate Arch can be viewed from upper viewing point, which is about a half mile hike up a hill. Well worth the climb, especially if you're unable to make it up to Delicate Arch itself. The arch is one of the main and most popular of the attractions at this park. The rangers allow you to walk onto the slickrock as long as you do not walk on non-rock surfaces. Sun down time, ended onto a plateau where the arch appeared almost like a vision, the deep cliffs under my foot…

I posted a photo yesterday, this one is in a bit different view, you can see the tiny Delicate Arch far away in the meddle of the photo… Most people ended up at viewpoint, could not see this view, it took a bit effort to climb to this location, few people did it, you can see three people sitting and waiting for the sunset on the edge of cliffs... Not long after taking this photo, it started raining, no real sunset...
A composite shot of the Arch Rock in Valley of Fire. When I think of "Arch Rocks" I think huge geological structures created by the forces of nature over time. The Arch Rock in Valley of Fire State Park, is about 10 feet across. If you look for it near the sign, you may have difficulty finding it. It took me 3 visits to find it. I call it Secret Arch Rock.
Mobius Arch is located on Movie Flat Road in the heart of the Alabama Hills. There is a small, easy to miss trailhead sign that you can follow for the half-mile to the arch. hiking Mobius Arch Loop Trail was nice. Seeing the arch from this angle is a beautiful view, but if you proceed around to the other side, you can perfectly frame Mt Whitney in the center of the Arch window. The arch window is about six and a half feet high. The sun light was strong. I was a bit regret missing sunset, and sunrise in this amazing place.

A view of canyon country through Mesa Arch in the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park. The La Sal Mountains are in the distance.
Delicate Arch is one of the most recognized and most photographed landmarks in Arches National Park. The arch is 16-meters (52-feet) tall and was formed out of a dry seabed over millions of years. This capture shows the beauty and enormity of the surrounding Entrada sandstone mountaintop.
