Stormy California Coast I
Posted in California, Locations, Monterey, Nature, Photography, Stock Photo by JimThe California coastline is always a dynamic environment especially as storms generate large surf. Like clockwork nearly every big storm there are news stories of people knocked from the rocks by rogue waves and killed. When taking photos in precarious places along the coast one always has to have one eye out to sea. Even 15 feet above the water during this shoot I still had to retreat a couple of times as large sets moved their way in. Being respectful of Mother Nature often includes being cautious and factoring in the unpredictability of your surroundings.

Incredibly dramatic shot Jim. The coast around Monterrey is just beautiful, I really hope to go back there soon.

@Mark Thanks. If you do make it back to the west coast be sure to keep me posted.
