Invincible

I was told that more often than not, you end up getting skunked at this spot. I was told that the odds of a colorful sunset here were not good. When I first reached the ledge, I thought it was all true. The marine layer had consumed the sky, the horizon, the ocean and everything else but this sea stack. My initial thought process was to capture some kind of long exposure and process it as a black and white. About 10 minutes before sunset, the fog began to clear and the sky showed glimpses of that elusive color. Soon the entire sky was engulfed in flames and the light was so intense that it began to reflect off the water. In the thirty minutes that ensued, I got a whole range of images both left and right of this composition. 

Good times with good friends!


Appreciate any thoughts you have on this one.
