I had to go to California for work last week. Since I was there, I stole a little time and went to the Newport Bach Pier for sunset.

I've spent a good amount of time out west for work but I had never actually been to the beach, so it was a lot of fun playing with the Pacific for a sunset time-lapse.

The sunset sank faster than I thought it would so I didn't get a great shot of it, but I did love the way the sky slowly turned from orange to a deep blue.

Off in the distance you can see Catalina Island and oil rigs, which is a strange combination for me.

I'm going back in a couple weeks and hope to do some more time-lapses.
