What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy, and joy is, after all the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money, we eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for. - George Mallory.

Beautiful pictures! What settings did you use on the final one, if I may ask?

Thanks Dilapidated..
ISO 2500, 25 secs. at f5.6. I tried a couple different settings to try and get the Milky Way to stand out a bit more but had no success. Maybe a little too much light pollution or haze..that's my excuse anyway.

That pesky light pollution can sure be a pain.. I wonder how much trouble it would be to cause a city wide blackout to get the perfect shot..?

Now that would be an astrophotographer's dream come true!

Breathtaking photos. The ocean is the thing I miss most, while living in the Midwest. This set definitely has me yearning for home.

Cheers Seedy, Freddy & Crows, your comments are appreciated.

Crows, I think we all take Cali for granted sometimes, and then realize how good we had it when we leave. Hope you make it back here someday.

Awesome photos. I've seem so many shots of this bridge but never from below. Sounds like the trek down was pretty fun.

Fusspot, Meow..thanks.

The hike in was short, but wet..and numbingly cold on the feet. I'm taking the cliff route next time

But you're right about there being few photos taken from below. I guess there aren't many photog's willing to risk their gear, or lives on the climb down.

I think I'm on a roll. The Monterey County Convention and Visitors bureau have asked if they can use #5 as the photo of the week in their 'See Monterey' blog site. Why not? I'll take the local exposure.

Stunning images!

Photos like that don't just happen, you have some mad skills. Congrats on the photo-of-the-day too! It's a tangible acknowledgement of the quality of your work and a nice side note in your portfolio.

Looks like you've been getting out a lot, wish I could say the same. Very nice images Talisman. The clarity and framing on 4 and 5 are beautiful.

Thanks D, been taking advantage of the dry weather and this spot is one I was anxious to get to. Hadn't found any really good shots from under the bridge, so I was really happy to get a couple that I thought turned out o.k.
Our friend James accompanied me on this trip btw. He was ecstatic when we arrived at the beach.

If its one thing James is not short on, its enthusiasm.
