Panther Beach, CA - IMG#1209

Ebb and Flow - Panther Beach, CA
After living in California for over three years and drooling over the many picture perfect vistas along our coast, I finally got a chance to spend a few days doing nothing but shooting along the central coastline. My first stop was the popular stretch of coastline north of Santa Cruz. This scene is found at Panther Beach, I think..., a couple of hours before sunset. Having never been here before I really had no idea what to expect or how the conditions would be, so I spent an hour or so walking the beach and familiarizing myself with the beaches until I settled on this comp, where I used a newly acquired big stopper to take this image.
