Description

I have been to this location many times over many years and have never seen these rocks. The recent powerful waves washed away tons of sand, revealing rocks that are rarely seen. When I arrived at this location, I didn't expect a sunset because of the large, thick cloud that stretched across the horizon, but to my delight, the sun peeked under the cloud layer just before it disappered below the horizon.
Canon 10D, 17-40L lens, 2 stop Cokin grad ND filter to prevent overexposure of the sky, Manfrotto tripod.
