Sunset on Rialto Beach, Olympic National Park, Washington State

I captured this photo at the hole in the wall area of Rialto Beach in Olympic National Park. This scene was located about a three mile hike along Rialto beach from the park entrance. I was treated to an explosion of orange color across the sky. You can see the sun illuminating the hole in the wall on the far right. It was one of those moments every photographer cherishes because the resulting photo makes the journey so rewarding. I was very happy to have won a finalist award in the 2018 National Park Trips Media Landscape Photo Contest.
