Sunset at Morro Rock – Daily Photo

Sunset at Morro Rock, the Pacific Ocean gently stroking the shore, the slenderest crescent of moon hanging delicately in the sky as the day gives way to night. Viewed at 100% on the original the rock is capped with the silhouettes of roosting seabirds. This rock is just to the north of Morro Rock. Morro Rock emerges from the ocean just a few pixels left of the edge of the frame – it’s that close. While we were taking photos and James Brandon was flying his drone, residents of Morro Bay were assembling in the shadow of the rock for a drive-in movie. As long as I’ve lived in the US, I’ve still never been to a drive-in movie.
