This simple minimalist landscape juxtaposes the horizontal form of coastal fields and meadows with interesting cloud formations in the wake of a late-winter storm along the California coast.

The location is just outside of the small coastal town of Davenport, just north of Santa Cruz on the coast between San Francisco and Monterey – an area that combines coastal scenery with farmland.

Two fisherman fish from a rock outcropping above giant winter surf and shallow fog thrown up by the waves near Rocky Creek Bridge along the Big Sur coastline. A more distant perspective on a scene I uploaded earlier in a series of monochrome photographs.

I photographed this minimalist seascape along the Pacific Ocean coastline south of San Francisco, California during the summer of 2006. One goal was to convey a sense of the space and distance in this scene, and the inclusion of the very small images of the gulls in the foreground was part of this. (You can find related images in my Gallery, particularly in the California Coast and Natural World sections.)

Many related photographs may be found in the landscape (see the California Coast section) and wildlife sections of my photography gallery.
