I took this photograph in the forested area on William Randolph Hearst Memorial Beach. It’s located directly off the Pacific Coast Highway, across from the Hearst Castle. Park in the main lot and you’ll see a group of trees to the right when facing the water. The featured image was taken at the bottom of the hill at the edge of the tree line.
