This high lookout lies in the heart of the Norwegian fjords, overlooking the beautiful view of the Neroydalen valley (UNESCO world heritage landscape) and reachable via the highway E16.
Down I drove by the old winding road Stalheimskleiva, which has 13 hairpin bends with the maximum grade of 20 %. This route is the Northern Europe’s steepest road and included in the site "dangerousroads" - the world's most spectacular roads. It’s a one-way road going down and is open from May to September.

В сердце норвежских фьордов
* * *
Эта высотная смотровая площадка находится в самом сердце норвежских фьордов, открывает роскошный вид на долину Neroydalen (влючен в список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО) и достижима по пути вверх по трассе E16.
Вниз же я ехал по старой извилистой дороги Stalheimskleiva, которая имеет 13 крутых поворотов-шпилек с максимальным уклоном в 20%. Этот маршрут - самая крутая дорога Северной Европы, включенная в список "dangerousroads" - самых захватывающих и опасных дорог мира.
Дорога открыта с мая по сентябрь и только в одну сторону (вниз).

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!! :)

Soon to be 125 years old:
On October 1, 2015, the park will commemorate the 125th anniversary of the establishment of Yosemite National Park. President Benjamin Harrison signed the legislation, thereby creating the nation’s third National Park. The establishment of Yosemite National Park preserved over 1,500 square miles of land including Tuolumne Meadows, the park’s high country, Hetch Hetchy and lands surrounding Yosemite Valley.
