Above the Falls at Julia Pfeiffer Burns SP

Posted by Monterey John (Hollister, CA, United States) on 5 April 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This may be one of the most over-photographed locations on the Big Sur Coast ... but there could be a reason for that.

I was out there for a late afternoon and sunset, and it was just glorious. I'll put up a few photos from this shoot over the next few days.

Superb photo of a great location, I can see a sign saying Area Closed, is that for the beach? The cove looks a really beautiful spot. Well captured.

The photographers' paradise, for sure. This is beautiful. I love the wet and wetter sections of the sand and of course the gorgeous color in the water. The fresh green in the foreground balances the misty horizon! BRAVO!

That's a beautiful spot!
I can see why it's over photographed!

Stunning coastline. It reminds me of Corfu, Greece.
It may be over photographed but your image is remarkable. I love the shaded layers of sand and the aqua blue water rushing into the cove.
I would not be able to leave the spot.

I will never tire of seeing photos of Big Sur! Wish I could get out to that coast again. We always wind up in Oregon ( Depoe Bay) and Washington (Seattle). Need to get on the bike and take a road trip down the California coastline.

Gorgeous aqua water. Well done, John!

amazing coastline and lovely natural colours! the view from above really gives a good idea of this place! i like how the colour of the water transitions into deep blue further out to the sea...
