Ice Plants on the California Coast by Elizabeth Brown
This photo was taken near the Pigeon Point Lighthouse in Pescadero, California along the Pacific Coast Highway. The rich colors of the succulent ice plants complimented the rocky shore and seemed deserving of their own photo. This sea of flowers reached from the PCH almost to the Pacific Ocean itself. Ice plants are commonly found along the California Coast growing easily on the sandy and rocky shores.

Elizabeth Brown is a fine art photographer who enjoys capturing a variety of subjects. Her interests include landscapes, architecture, plants and all things associated with the coast. Elizabeth’s fine art photography is in several private collections and her commercial photography can be seen in several multi-family industry publications throughout the US.
Elizabeth has been fascinated by photography for more than 20 years. “My interest in photography started at 12 after experimenting with my father’s SLR camera. Only a few months later I bought my first SLR camera that I still have today. I had no idea then that I had discovered my life-long passion.”
“Some of my very first photos were of the coast and it is still a favorite subject for my photography today. I find nothing more serene than a salty breeze off the coast with the sound of the surf in the distance and use photography to capture those fleeting moments to savor.”
After growing up in Virginia Beach and living in many cities throughout the southeast, Elizabeth now resides on the Gulf Coast of Florida and enjoys spectacular sunsets with her family regularly.

Beautiful how you capture clouds, sea and flowers all with such detail.
Sharp dissonance of front and rear plan. It is a struggle.
The gentle beauty, but a stable.
