"Sunset at Piedras Blancas Light Station"
February 2011, Piedras Blancas, California
This was to be my last clear sunset for a while. I was staying in San Simeon for a week, but the next 5 afternoons brought a mixture of heavy fog, overcast grey skies, rain and high winds. You do the best you can to follow the weather forecasts and shoot for the storms, but until you are actually on scene you just don't know what you are going to get. The weathermen had promised me off and on storms for the week, and sure enough I got them. They were just the wrong kind from a photographer's standpoint.
