Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being…

One of my favorite shots from our trip to the beautiful state of Washington was taken at the second beach just as the sun was setting and lighting up the few sea stacks that were close to the shore. I waited patiently with a wet hiking shoe to get the waves just right. The best part about the second beach is that to get here there needs to be some commitment from the photographer. There is a hike and a bit of scramble over accumulated logs that the ocean deposited by the beach. So, it's not as crowded as Rialto beach which is located just off the parking lot.

The light that was falling on these sea stacks were coming in perfects once the sun was behind a cliff which had a natural arch in it. The delicate light rays falling on the sea stack illuminated the rock perfectly with the red and golden light and shadows to provide depth to this amazing rock formation. Add to that gentle waves and the pink hue in the sky, all the elements came together for a perfect landscape shot. All I had to do was do justice to the scene with my technique and timing and I hope I nailed both.
