This is a unique occurrence in Big Sur on the California coast that happens a few times a year at sunset when the setting sun shines through an opening in the sea stack. I got there a good two hours earlier, walked across a long sandy beach and waited for the sun to go down and shine through.

Artist's Statement:

I started my career as a photographer in the film era, where I was developing and printing my own images. I entered the realm of digital photography at an early stage and have transitioned my skills and knowledge to the digital format. I am an avid traveler and have explored the far reaches of all seven continents, searching for the perfect image. My main passion is landscape and travel photography, but I also enjoy taking environmental portraits while traveling. Dr. Martin Evans and I own and operate a photography business called Photodistinctions.com. I recently retired from my busy life as a surgeon and this now allows me to travel and focus more on my other passions in life. My images are on permanent display at several different business locations. I have also won multiple awards at local shows and have had displays at local art galleries and libraries. My portfolio will be on display again at the Richmond Main Library in October and November 2023. I strive to have my images express the same mood and emotion that I experienced at the time of image capture.
