Last week I went to Northern California, choosing Salinas as a center for several day trips to Santa Cruz, Moss Landing, Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. These cities have some of the most amazing scenery on the West Coast, probably causing me to take too many pictures.
One of the places I liked best was Moss Landing State Beach, 26 miles south of Santa Cruz. I spent two late afternoons there, waiting for and finally, on the second day, photographing a very colorful sunset. The following photos were taken within a span of 16 minutes. By that time the beach was almost deserted, except for a couple of fishermen.

Very beautiful, and I can imagine the sense of tranquility that you’d have watching the sunset as the waves are breaking.

Thanks Jerry! There was practically nobody on the beach, and the Pacific Ocean was very mellow. I wish every sunset could be like that.

Thanks Sue! Waiting for the sun to go down and eventually disappear into the ocean, seeing all the colors burst out and fade away, that has to be one of the best experience in life.
