Sunset in Natural Bridges State Park

Landscape Photography

Standing in the cold Pacific water at Natural Bridges State Park in January, we faced the challenge of resisting the waves and currents while ensuring our tripod remained steady during long exposures. Despite the difficulties, the effort proved highly rewarding. Natural Bridges State Park, located in Santa Cruz, California, is renowned for its stunning natural rock formations, including several iconic natural bridges that have been sculpted by coastal erosion. The park offers a perfect vantage point for photographing these impressive structures against the backdrop of the rugged coastline. The dynamic ocean conditions and the intricate details of the natural bridges create a dramatic and captivating scene, making the experience of capturing this landscape both challenging and exhilarating.
