Peeping through the keyhole - Rare natural phenomenon

---

Pfeiffer Beach is located in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, which is off the Pacific Coast Highway about 37 miles south of Carmel, down a narrow, one-lane dirt road. For only a few weeks in every winter, Sunset can be viewed through the Keyhole Arch. This natural phenomenon depends on various factors like the perfect alignment of the Sun with the keyhole, a clear sky and of course only a very few (4-5) people in the front of the crowd can get this picture every time. One gets only a few minutes to shoot this before the Sun sets behind the horizon.
