Pfieffer Beach Arch Lightbeam, Big Sur
Yesterday there was much brouhaha about the total lunar eclipse, but did you know that at this time of year another interesting atmospheric phenomenon occurs? At Pfieffer Beach in Big Sur, the setting sun shines at just the right angle to shine through the keyhole of a mighty arch to illuminate the sea spray and crashing waves on the other side. Here’s my shot, “Keyhole” from Friday, December 9th, 2011. This was taken while leading a private, all-day photography workshop in Big Sur.
