"The clearest way into the Universe is through a ocean blue." Sometimes, the photo, is worth the adventure. This happens to be one of those times. I decided to venture out to Little Corona Del Mar and try to hike down to Arch Rock. Arch Rock is around a mile south of the beach and it's a nasty hard hike to get to. I started my hike around 5:00 pm to try and get there and set up by sunset. You would think a mile hike would not be that bad and normally, I would agree with you, but this is not a normal hike. Imagine hiking down a beach where you have half a foot walkway and massive waves crashing next to you. Imagine hiking and having to climb up rock walls that are as sharp as razors. imagine hiking over rocks that are as slippery as grease. Add all these things together, and that is what this hike is. I managed to make it down the beach without falling into the ocean or slipping on the rocks and cracking my head. Once I got to Arch Rock I was amazed at the shear size and beauty of this place! It's as if God himself reached down and designed this place for a photographer. Stunning rock formations, amazing waves breaking and a perfect arch. I spent a few hours photographing it and could have spent another few just sitting there admiring it. You could hear the waves crashing against the rocks on the other side and it was just awe inspiring. It really makes you appreciate the strength of the ocean. As you can imagine, I will be posting pictures of the Arch for the next few days. I think I shot around 1500 photos of it and to me, they are all amazing!
