Point Reyes Meditation, by Laria Saunders

It was the last of the light in Point Reyes, California and at the end of this deserted beach when I noticed these beautiful rock formations in the water. I walked down with a tripod and decided to try and capture the mystical quality of the fog and light by using a long exposure and neutral density filter. The white balance was on auto.
