Surprise ~~

At the end of a gloomy, overcast day, it finally started to drizzle in L.A. around sunset. As I ran outside to check on the “rain,” I was surprised by the sight of a huge rainbow! I quickly grabbed my camera and snapped as many pictures as I could before it was covered by clouds and gone in less than three minutes. So, while these were not the images I had planned for today’s 365 project, I feel I have to use them. Apologies for their low quality, but I couldn’t do better with the time, light, and space constraints I had. Not to mention the urban setting, which didn’t allow for great composition…

Foggy Bay ~~

The first day of November brought not only the end of daylight savings time, but also a change to the weather pattern in the L.A. area. Santa Monica Bay was covered in dense fog this afternoon and, while the temperature was still mild, there was no sign of summer. The sun struggled against thick clouds and eventually made its way through for another pretty sunset. But it couldn’t upstage the fog that covered the entire bay. I kind of liked that…

Before, During, and After Sunset ~~

Santa Monica sunsets are beautiful and attract both locals and visitors daily. Just about ten minutes before sunset people start taking their spots along Palisades Park to get the best view and snap memorable photos. And the show is never disappointing. It starts with that beautiful golden light hitting the water and the sky turning all shades of pink, orange, and red, and continues way after the sun disappears into the water of behind he mountains, depending on the time of the year. It’s a spectacle that never gets old.
