So many challenges to deal each year while trying to get a decent shot of the arch. The tide moving in, the cadre of other photographers jockeying for position and accidentally getting into each other's way, giant strands of seaweed that keep washing up into your shot, etc, etc. I had a great time shooting and struck up a conversation with a couple of guys who grew up not too far away from me. The same type of thing happened last year: Everyone is chatting away amicably until about 1/2 hour before sunset and suddenly all the shutters start going off continuously and suddenly it's every man for himself, lol.
For those of you who might be interested, your opportunity to shoot the arch with the sun pouring through is drawing to a close pretty soon. Each year, the sun moves far enough south, (Late December, Early January) for the suns rays to travel through the archway in the giant pile of rocks on Pfeiffer Beach. The access to the beach is devilishly tricky to find as there are no clear signs at the turn off and the road simply drops off the edge on the Western Side. You also face the challenge of not finding a parking spot when you arrive at the bottom as there are only a handfull of spaces available in two small parking lots. If you cut it too close, you might end up waiting at the guard shack right through the sunset and miss the entire thing. This ALMOST happened to me last year. It's $5 to park, and then a short walk to the beach through the trees.
I've included a shot from last year below.

IN MEMORIAM of my father, Charalampos C. Papachristos ( ✞ 26.6.1985 ):
Photograph of Gkikas’s Mill bridge. The bridge is located near my fatherland, Kraniá (aka Kranéa or La Kornu), a village in 1.179,7 m (3,870.4 ft) altitude near Trikala, Greece. The arched bridge is made of stones, 20 metre (66 ft) long and 2.7 m (9 ft) wide. It was constructed in 1887 and spans the Kraniótikos river or stream that is a tributary of Aspropótamos.
Aspropótamos (Greek for “White River”) is a toponym for the 2nd largest Greek river, aka “Achelōos.” Achelōos runs for 220 km (137 mi) prior to disgorging its waters into the Ionian Sea. The precipitous flow of the river causes its crystal-clear waters to splash and foam over the many stones scattered throughout the river bed; the White River toponym emanates from the white foam occurring all along the river.
Achelōos was worshipped as a god in ancient Greece (son of Ocean and Tēthys or Ocean and Naïás according to myths and legends).
The arch is right on the edge of a 500-foot cliff, part of a 1,200-foot drop into Buck Canyon. Many photographers get a sunrise pic from this vantage point, but I just couldn’t bring myself to get out of bed to get the capture.

Overgrown farmland in a suburb of St. Louis hosts deer, coyotes, foxes, hawks, owls, snakes, turtles and other species which have adapted to urban life. (Which has nothing to do with the title I chose, but I couldn't resist the pun!)
This arch was dedicated to the Emperor Augustus by the Roman Senate in 27 BC & is the oldest arch that survives.

I was using a 300mm telephoto lens for this. A wee sea gull flew into the shot, but it does give a bit of scale to the image. I didn't find a name for this arch, it probably has one, but it's beautiful, so who really cares.
The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312. Dedicated in 315, it is the largest Roman triumphal arch. The arch spans the Via triumphalis, the way taken by the emperors when they entered the city in triumph. (2/22/2019)
