Life is like the ocean, it can be calm and still, and rough or rigid but in the end it’s always beautiful

We made a pit stop while in Mendocino of one of the oldest protestant churches in California. My wife and I sensed a heaviness over the coastal town though picturesque, there is a burden of God he put in our hearts that He desires revival. Our thoughts and prayers are with YWAM Mendocino that they would be a shining light of God’s love to this coast that is in desperate need of Him.

The sun begins to set on the mystical Lost Coast. This was taken close to our camping spot, behind some logs such as these in the photos. The area had a mountain vista that was viewable when the fog cleared, a beach as seen in the picture, and a prairie to the right. The Lost Coast lives up to its name, and then some. One can come here to forget, relax, and enjoy being lost in the beauty that is provided by this area.

We caught one of the most incredible sunsets I’ve EVER taken in on this beautiful summer night. We ran quickly ran onto this bridge to catch the last glimpses of the sun as it went down. I saw Adrian leaning over the edge, staring into the beauty before him, and knew that I would fall in love with the photo. Boy, am I ever glad that I pressed the shutter when I did!

What may not be obvious is that his back is near the edge of a cliff with about a 150 foot drop.

This strip of beach divides the salty Pacific Ocean from a freshwater lake, and looks pretty damn good while doing it. This was taken near the redwood forests in Northern, California, with a DJI Mavic Pro 2 and I used a 16-stop ND/PL filter to reduce the intense glare on the water.

I took this photo a couple of weekends ago. I was at the Rock Springs Trail head parking lot with the San Francisco Amateur Astronomers club. Off to the right you cam see the moon and then you have the whole Milky Way arching over the city of San Francisco. This photo is a 360 panorama and was made with a Sony A7Sii and a Rokinon 8mm fish eye lens. If you download it and view it in a 360 photo viewer you will be amazed with what you see. I’m on IG @bryangoffphoto Stop by and say hi!

We spent our honeymoon driving the California coast. This was one of our first stops at the Lady Bird Johnson redwood park. The day started with fog, and the lighting was amazing (this was around 1:00 pm). It fell perfectly on this bridge.

I can't remember the last time I saw the Pacific Ocean look so calm. This weathered and worn sea monolith is much bigger than it appears. This was captured with my drone on the Northern California coast. I love evenings at the Pacific Coast. You get these low-altitude sheets of clouds that roll in off the ocean that let the setting sun sneak through. I believe in the distance there’s another large sea monolith, which I didn’t notice until looking at this photo.

This was taken north of San Francisco. I was hiking with my family and I had a film camera on me that I was shooting. I saw this and had to snap an iPhone picture of the view.

Karl the Fog was rolling in hard on a warm San Francisco afternoon. This was taken from across the bridge in the Marin Headlands.

Beyond the fog there’s always blue sky hiding. Golden gate, San Francisco, California.

We did the full tourist experience when we visited Northern California and when we went on the boat tour of the Golden Gate Bridge the tour guide told us the paint color of the bridge was called “international orange”. The architects had to choose one color to paint the entire bridge and it was no coincidence that they chose a color that was inclusive and named it international as San Fran is the home to people from all over the world.

Taken on my only visit to the US, when visiting Microsoft. I did not bring my camera but the kind people their loaned me a camera and took me out to see the sights.

I was chasing the sunset through San Francisco buildings trying to find a clear shot. After randomly driving around I didn’t find any so I gave up. On the drive home I randomly ran into this view. I pulled over in the emergency lane (nothing like adding some thrill into the chase) and took this shot. Life lesson: just in case you give up, keep your head up because you don’t know what’s around the corner.

How lucky I am. This shot was taken from the Car, when I was on the bridge. Luckily the traffic was slow moving due to a busy day. While most of the days are foggy near the bridge, somehow this Seagull added an extra layer beauty to this man made marvel. I strongly believe in the composition, probably that adds more creativity than rest of the photography technics. I don’t mind, passing the same bridge 1000 times, to get different compositions and dimension to experience the world in multiple bliss.
