Orange starts to take over
As the sun continued its journey toward the horizon a really strong orange shade began to appear. I was very excited by this. The clouds were in the perfect place to help that orange explode upwards. I just had to be patient and wait for it.

Day break on January 1, 2020
As I walked up to the pitch black beach, I could see the light breaking over the horizon. I prefer for my sunrises and sunsets to have a fair amount of clouds. I think it helps to make the scene more dynamic. But on the occasions when you get very little cloud cover the first light spreads in line just above the horizon creating beautiful layers of deep colors.

This was a fun time-lapse to shoot. I really love the way the roller coaster and ferris wheel turned out against the orange glow of the setting sun.

The beach is seemingly endless
At the end of Palisades Park is the famous Santa Monica Pier. Strolling out onto the pier the beach seems to go on forever.

This week’s posts are from the first stop on my December trip. It all started with a day in LA.
I hadn’t spent much time in Santa Monica so I decided to spend the afternoon there. I started in Palisades Park which provided this amazing view of the hills meeting the ocean.
