Garrapata Cove

This is a repost with the video link added.

I had been meaning to post this a while ago but just got around to it.  This is part of Garrapata State Park facing the highway in the afternoon.  It is a bit of an odd composition, and actually one I was taught not to do because the eye gets drawn right up the center and gets stopped.  This was remedied (or not) by the peculiar rock formation and a lot of trickery with contrast.  The water was a huge quandary being rough and finally smooth a couple of times over until smooth was the better answer.  So there it is, Garrapata State Park.
