A life-long dream, it was a beautiful day to finally take in some en plein air along the California, USA, coast near Bixby Creek Bridge in Big Sur. The area is well known for its plunging cliffs and brilliant turquoise-teal waters. Managed to complete a double session of field sketches under ever shifting and moving coastal fog. As usual, the wind picked up around 4:00 p.m. as the sun moved west on this early December day.
Southern footing of Bixby Creek Bridge is visible in the left of this snapshot.
Surface sunlight dancing off waters is more inland as I finish up this image.
Field kit includes a standard tripod with two plein air fittings.
Above/below snaps: Easy to see how coastal fog and the winter sun move across the terrain.
Work was completed from 11:00 a.m. to about 3:30 p.m. (with 30-40 minute lunch).
