Pescadero and Graduated Filter

I was over on the coast yesterday in Pescadero looking for a specific color photo I have been wanting to make of the cliffs over there. The sun did not cooperate, so, I tried some B&W's with my graduated neutral density filter. It was able to knock down the exposure in the sun so I could capture the beach, rock and clouds. I'll be heading back soon and hopefully have something else to show if the fog stays away!
