Description
This beautiful color photograph of the secluded rocky beach at Dana Point, California, shows the huge coastal rock promontory, Dana Point, with steps leading down to its splendid California beach cove. The rugged terrain, framed with dark boulders, creates pleats of white foam waves coming in at interesting angles as the ocean crashes onto the large rocks lining the shore.
Crystal clear blue sky with no clouds. Advection fog hugs the horizon, as warm moist air moves over the cold surface of the water. The fog, which rises up like a puff of smoke beyond the promontory, leads the eye directly to the rocky cliffs of Dana Point.
Gorgeous Pacific Ocean scene with waters alternating deep blue, teal, and white foam. Lines, colors, and textures intended by the photographer, born and raised in California, to capture the essence of the Southern California coastal shore, along with its fascinating variety and stunning beauty. This unique capture of such a peaceful and relaxing cove is one I never tire of looking at. It always transports me back to that spot. I can hear the waves crashing, feel the mist in my face, and smell the sea.
Works beautifully for prints and all of the products. Check out the possibilities for your home or office.
