"Sometimes you need to get off the road to enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Coast Highway. I've been to this highway many times for its unbeatable view. There is no place to park, so my friend dropped me off. The marine fog quickly merged with the cliff after sunset, and I was lucky enough to capture this shot. I love California!"
