This is a portrait I took of my dad in July, just a few months before he passed away in October. I'm so happy I have this photo of him.

Lone Cypress Sunset | Pebble Beach, California

This sunset was one of the most brilliant and riveting I've ever seen on the California coast. It seemed more like a summer in Hawaii than late December in Pebble Beach.

The tree featured in these photos is the famous Lone Cypress, which is the logo of the Pebble Beach Company.

You can see more of my photographs of the California Coast here.

Canon 5D, 24-70L, ISO 50, Lee 2-stop graduated neutral density filter.
