WPC: Variations on a Theme
Sense of Place – For this week’s challenge, Variations on a Theme, I’ve chosen to show the same place, Venice Beach, from different points of view.
363/365 – Santa Monica Pier at Dusk
170/365 – Trees of SoCal
Summertime in Santa Monica
Where the living is easy… 
Recurring Model
This was the third time I encountered the “Santa Monica Daredevil,” as I call him. It had been a while, almost a year, since I last photographed him. As usual, as I was walking around Palisades Park, with my camera at hand, he just materialized in front of me and I just kept shooting without much thinking. At first, the sun was behind him, so I shot some silhouettes. As he passed by me, I made some shots with the golden light on him and the Santa Monica beach and pier below. Next time I should go after him and ask him what’s his deal… 🙂

Venice Canal ~~
One of the entrances to the Venice Canal Historic District, in the Venice Beach section of Los Angeles. The district is noteworthy for its man-made canals built in 1905 by developer Abbot Kinney as part of his “Venice of America” plan. There are six canals in the Venice Canals Walkway and approximately three-hundred-and-seventy homes fronting them. I will do a post on the Canals Walkway soon.
Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge: Three Items or Number Three
I must really like the number three because I have lots of photos with three items! So, here is a “small” selection of “Threes” for Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge.
Three windows.
Three bikers.
Three birds, three wires.
Three people, three planters.
Three bathing seagulls.
Three lifeguard posts.
Three “friers”…
Three runners (yup, six feet…)

Beach Season Is Upon Us~~
Today is International Oceans Day. So, what could be more appropriate than a shot of the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean hitting Santa Monica beach, reminding us it’s time to have some summer fun. 🙂

In Santa Barbara ~~
Spending the weekend in beautiful Santa Barbara, the American Riviera. I love this place. We had a long day and tonight I had problems with slow internet connection at our hotel so I’m posting my 365 project entry for May 2nd a bit late. Here are a few shots of downtown Santa Barbara. Hope to have more luck with connections tomorrow’s post…
