Sundown at Schooner Gulch

Bring home the beauty of a rare evening at Schooner Gulch State Beach — known to photographers as Bowling Ball Beach for its iconic, rounded stones.

While I often capture this spot during the "blue hour", with waves splashing over the famous “bowling balls,” this particular autumn sunset was unforgettable. The sky burned with color, the tide smoothed the shore, and the rocks held their silent vigil beneath the glowing cliffs.

This image has been my personal desktop background for years — a constant reminder of nature’s perfect, fleeting moments. Now, it’s available as a fine art print to bring that same enduring beauty into your space.
