Rainbows — Pastel Colors

Just a beautiful moment over the ocean. Until I looked at this shot later, I didn’t realize the colors of the rainbow were an overlay on the water itself. I had imagined the rainbow was cut off at the horizon.

A sparkling and spectacular morning at the Asilomar Beach in Pacific Grove, California. I saw one rainbow after another and could hardly shoot fast enough to keep up. December, 2008.

California Waves — Dog in Surf

This has been a popular print at Art shows. I am always asked if this is my dog. It would make a better story, perhaps, if it was, but it isn’t my dog. I saw it trotting through the edge of the surf and managed a quick shot before it was gone. Taken at Moss Landing Beach, January 2005.

California Waves — Light Rays

The waves were not particularly large on this day at Asilomar, but I was struck by the light rays striking the ocean through an opening in the clouds. The phenomenon lasted about 5 minutes before the clouds closed together. Taken March, 26, 2011.

Another shot from Asilomar Beach from March, 2010. This was shot at 1/1600th of a second to freeze the action of the exploding wave.

Another shot from Bandon, Oregon. Waves crashing in a small inlet of this rocky cliff produced rising mist that produced a ghostly effect.

California Waves — Asilomar

Asilomar State Beach is on the Monterey Peninsula in Pacific Grove, California. It is a strip of sandy beach and rocky coves. It is an especially good area to watch large waves crash over the rocks offshore. Taken in January, 2008.

California Waves — Monterey

This wave was one of many massive ones that came into Monterey Bay in early December of 2007. An experienced local surfer lost his life while surfing the big waves.
