Pinnacle Rock at sunset, Bartolome Island, The Galapagos, Ecuador, 2012

The most famous promotory in the Galapagos is bathed in the golden light of a reflected sunset, which makes a beautiful subject for a photograph in itself. But I usually avoid making pictures of famous places, because they often resemble post cards. What makes this scene so special is the set of three cloud streams that seem to explode from not only Pinnacle Rock itself, but also from the two huge hills that flank it on either side. I place the waterline near the bottom of the frame to increase the length of those cloud streams, all of which reflect traces of the setting sun as well.
