Rambled around Pt. Reyes on Saturday looking for the light. Reached the lighthouse just around sunset, and as I pulled into the lot looked to my right and saw the cliffs aglow with the setting sun. Grabbed the tripod and ran across the street, and had about two minutes to set up and shoot before it disappeared. Reasonably happy with this shot, especially since I forgot the AF was turned off.
I'm sure the vertical landscape will throw a lot of voters, particularly at the new 800 px side. I'm hoping the top 2/3 will carry the shot, but we'll see. Guessing this is about a 5.8 - doesn't really pop enough to go higher and there is going to be a lot of tough competition this week.

This is a photograph of repeating patterns - the incoming tide patterns match the multiple sand patterns of the oft previous tides. Those patterns in turn have a corresponding match and echo in the textures and patterns of the illuminated cliffs. I find this peaceful in its eternal continuity.
Nice colors and light. Ordinarily I like some detail in the foreground of a landscape but this doesn't add much interest to the scene, so I'd crop it out.
