That's a really good one Josh! And that rock/arch is really sweet. I need to get back up there.

I hate to copy anyone else, but Valley of Fire is the best I could do.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

I surely don't care if everyone posts Valley of Fire images. It is a great place to photograph, Jim.

Windstone Arch, Valley of Fire. David Muench first discovered and named the arch for a book (although the name is unofficial). It has since been vandalized and is no more.

Jim, I’m glad you posted these images of Valley of Fire, it’s good to see the different areas and points of view of this park.

Thanks Jim! The whole coast of Big Sur is just incredible. Can’t go wrong with it.

Thank you Dan! It’s a super short but incredibly sketchy hike to get to this comp. You’re right on the edge of the cliff the whole time!

Well, that's my challenge now!. I do a lot of work around the sea stacks that you can see in this post.
