San Gregorio Sunset

Portfolio & Services

This is from a few weeks ago up at San Gregorio State Beach. The creek here flows out to the Pacific ocean and creates wonderful wave patterns.

This is one of the spots we hope to visit in our Fall California Coast workshop. Info on a variety of workshops can always be found in my profile.

    Elegantly simple. Love the foreground textures and the waves look like a stairway out the the ocean. Cheers

    Wow...love those rippling wave and sand or rock patterns! Just gorgeous! Neat sunset!

    The silkiness of the standing waves is astounding and beautiful. The sunset is very Turneresque. The leading lines are sensational. Great shot, Jim!

    Now that's something you don't hear everyday!

    Turneresque? Excuse my ignorance. Turner who? I'd love to know! Thanks!

    Thanks everyone!
