El Matador beach just outside of Malibu is one of my favorite escapes. It's a pretty popular spot and can be filled with throngs of people but I can still always find a desolate little hide away. On this particular evening a crew was shooting a music video just twenty feet away and still I felt alone in my own world.
That being said, I wasn't really feeling all that calm. The tide was coming in so I was vigilant watching the oncoming sets for a large wave. I had wedged myself into a tiny hole to get this angle, I was knee deep in water and had some particularly disturbing feeling kelp (at least I kept telling myself it was kelp) wrapped around my right ankle. Creeped out as I was, I loved every second of it.

Sometimes, nothing frames nature better than more nature. Good shot.

WENDY this is so beautiful! I went there for the first time last month and you're right there were so many people there. The waves were so large and I wasn't able to go into this area safely with my equipment. I plan on going back in October.

What a wonderful shot. It helps to know what you had to go through to get this incredible shot.
