  • "McWay Falls, Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park"  McWay Falls is one of those hidden California treasures located thirty minutes south of Big Sur in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park.  This waterfall spills right into the ocean surrounded by this private secluded beach. The bright green water and white sands has many people think this is an image from Hawaii!   That beach makes you want to just get your chair, drinks and take out from Mike’s Cafe and sit right down by the waterfall.  Another great place to be on a Friday afternoon.

  • "Watching Ocean Flows" was captured at sunrise on an outing when I was shooting with Kevin McNeal and Edward Nunez - Kevin and Ed were off playing in the big waves with their waders and I was off finding this perfect setting!  The bird sat there perfectly still during the 5 second exposure!  The textures in the clouds and blue and purple tones in the rock in the foreground with the water swirling around are what really excited me when I captured this!   Like all of my favorite images, this is a place I want to be on a Friday afternoon.  Enjoy! John

  • "Last Flames on Horsetail Falls"  Yosemite National Park.   I caught the last few moments of light on Horsetail falls.  The falls were very light and subtle this year.  It was windy and a little spray caught the sunlight as it puffed up.   The tips of the tree were also nicely highlighted.  Just another fine place to be on a Friday afternoon.   My award winning "Nature's Firefalls" can be seen here:  <a href="http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/2747559_ghkMc">http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/2747559_ghkMc</a>

  • "Heart over Horsetail Falls"  Yosemite National Park.  Sunset Spring 2009.  I captured this during another outing to capture Horsetail Falls.   The water flow over the falls was pretty low this winter.  As I was shooting I noticed the winds picking up.  Some gusts picked up the trickle of the falls and it puffed up like a cloud - the sun shining on the mist and I froze this moment.   This year was almost non-existent for capturing any good Horsetail Falls pictures since it was cloudy and snowing much of February this year - I guess that is what makes this such a hard picture to take since the window for good images is only a few weeks.    For more information on Horsetail falls and my award winning "Nature's Firefalls" image see this.  <a href="http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/2747559_ghkMc/1/281579766_t4hmN/Medium">http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/2747559_ghkMc/1/281579766_t4hmN/Medium</a>
