Sunset at Cholla Bay in Rocky Point, Mexico

Sunset lights up the clouds and water of Cholla Bay in Rocky Point, Mexico.

I entered this photo in Outdoor Photographer’s, Nature’s Colors Photo Contest, and was delighted to find out that it was chosen as a finalist out of over 8,600 entries! It was taken in the fall of 2005 and was just sitting around in my archives when I realized that it would be perfect for this particular contest. It’s a stitched panorama that was taken with my original 300D Canon Digital Rebel. Puerto Penasco, Mexico (aka Rocky Point) is a particularly interesting place because of the tide difference being up to a mile between high and low tides. Some friends and I headed out to Cholla Bay to get this shot and as the water receded, the colors began lighting up the sky.

Free Roaming Photography, Photography by Mike Cavaroc, is my portfolio and vision of the natural world. As a nature and wildlife photographer, I am striving to reach the angles of landscapes that haven't been documented before as well as finding the dramatic nature of wildlife in its natural state.
