The sun sets through the arch. At Second Beach on the Olympic Peninsula, Crying Lady Rock rises from the surf as a dark silhouette against a sky that has caught fire — orange, violet, and gold, the colours reflected in the wet sand below. Alain Thomas’s panoramic photograph captures one of the most celebrated sunset viewpoints on the Pacific Coast at its most spectacular: the kind of light that only lasts a few minutes, and that Thomas was there to catch.Crying Lady Rock is one of the iconic sea stacks of Olympic National Park, Washington State — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in North America. The natural arch in the rock to the right frames the setting sun perfectly, as if the landscape had arranged itself for the photograph.At nearly five feet wide, this panoramic print brings the full sweep of the Pacific sunset into any room.
