Where Big Sur, California
When 1999
Photographer Frans Lanting

"Each year more than three million visitors navigate the treacherous turns of Highway 1 and cross its soaring arch-span bridges, its narrow passes, and the unique curiosities, which artists have called 'the greatest meeting of land and water in the world.'"

(Photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Big Sur: California's Elemental Coast," May 1998, National Geographic magazine)
