Pfeiffer State Beach
My previous post regarding Pfeiffer State Beach in Big Sur, CA (31Jul09) shows it I believe on a typical day. This morning however, was somehow special. The absense of the morning fog and the stillness of the air are two things I have never seen there (not that I am a local expert). Also the tide was as low as I have seen it – making wading out to the windows in the rocks a delightful experience. But seeing the outlet of a river with no wind ripples was almost more than I could bear.
I asked Giorgia, a gifted healer, educator and intuitive to go over to the far side of the pond; i would follow shortly. The image above was exactly what I was hoping to capture: the complex sky, the color and contrast of the rocks in the background, the beautiful line of the surf, and of course a woman in reflection. I love this shot. For those who love photoshop, you will be disappoint to know that his image is right out of the camera.
