Lovers On The Rocks


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Lovers On The Rocks
Lovers On The Rocks
Pescadero, CA., just south of Half Moon Bay. It had stormed all morning, and would continue to do so most of the afternoon, but I caught a break and hiked down to the rocky shore of Pescadero Cove. I saw a young couple walk out on the bluff and caught them in, what I later would find out, was a very special moment. I ran into them up by the road and told them of the photo I'd taken. I asked for their email address and told them I'd send a copy if it came out alright. They were thrilled...
So what was the moment I'd captured? ....
It was him proposing, and she saying yes.
