Horizinal Mist has sold

Horizinal Mist by Rich VelascoThe Central Coast of California is a Magical Place for me. It has hidden places that seem to suddenly appear before your very eyes. The Spring or Fall seem to be the best time to capture the mood of the area. At times, I prefer to shoot early in the morning, the “Silver” hour instead of “Golden” one.

Horizinal Mist is an image I took while on the West Coast. One morning I explored places to capture this scene. Most of the fog had burned away. But in the far horizon, I could still see the lingering mist. It seemed to want to come back up the coast.

I knew that soon it would disappear and that the coastal rocks and trees would miss it. Maybe tomorrow the mist would replenish, wash and nourish them. The cool, soft mist would move in again.

If you are able to tour the California coast, be sure to take your time and enjoy the morning hours of Fall or Spring. They normally bring showers and mist that enchant the senses.

Nightfall had fallen and it was getting very late, and could not find a place to check in for the night, so we decided to sleep in the car. We pulled off to the side of the highway, close to a cliff. We could hear the crashing waves from the beach near by. We could not see the waves, it was pitch dark,  but could sure hear them. There was a light misty rain throughout the night and I could not get any sleep, maybe it was the sound of the waves or the uncomfortable car seat, but dawn finally came.

Early in the morning I went outside to look at the surrounding area I couldn’t believe how beautiful and tranquil everything looked. I grabbed the camera and started shooting. The sun rays were starting to penetrate the hills tops, in a few minutes I could barely see the sun coming through the clouds and the fog. Then the mist started rolling in over the hills and cliffs.  I kept shooting as much as I could before we had to get on the road again.

I hope you enjoy this image and the story behind it.

If mist could make a sound, it would make a sound like Misty Mar.
