McWay Falls along California's Pacific Ocean Coastline

Unless you're a local, McWay Falls, in Big Sur California, can be difficult to get an ideal photo of. On this stop in late January 2015, it had been overcast all day. I'd hoped to get a ray of sun hitting the falls at sunset, but the clouds didn't cooperate. Instead, I came away with this shot, after the sun went down. The exposure was 4 seconds, giving the waves in McWay Cove a soupy look, which I kinda like. Shot with a Pentax 645Z, 45mm, f16.

America - California - Pfeiffer Big Sur, McWay Falls cove

McWay Falls was one of those places I knew I had to stop at on my road trip through Big Sur. On a day of stunning scenery, seeing the waterfall in the golden light of late afternoon was an absolute standout.

On the McWay waterfall track in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, you get an amazing view of McWay Falls plummeting over the cliffs and onto the beach below. I found it very hard to tear myself away from that view, but I had to so I could move further up the track and watch the sunset over the ocean. What a perfect way to end the day. I'm a bit jealous of Julia Pfeiffer Burns, who used to live in this area and got to see this view whenever she wanted!

I don't know if there are many things more relaxing than watching the sun slowly dip down into the ocean along a gorgeous stretch of coast like this one.
