Description

Hello all!! Just got back from Santa Barbara (went for the weekend). Yesterday morning somehow I managed to wake up at 5 no alarm (I told my mind to be the alarm and it actully worked lol) and so snuck away from my sleeping family to go walk along the beach out by/at the pier. ...IT was really dark when I first got there and I wondered how I can shoot a decent sunrise at a California beach as the sun sets in the west. So facing west I didn't expect much with the sun coming from the east(realizing I hadn't seen a sunrise on the Pacific ocean since I was camping in the 90's, and never there in Santa Barbera) . I then walked out to the pier to shoot pelicans but they were all gone (...guess they are there only in the spring when I normally come...) Much to my surprise I realized there was a bay there to the southeast. The sun was coming up over mountains by the harbor- The unexpected is always such a nice surprise isn't it?!! ... All alone out there 'cept for a few dock workers. It was incredibly beautiful and peaceful and I wondered why don't more people come out and watch the sunrise? Couldn't decide which one to upload so put all 5 in progression of my walk here... which one do you like best? * best at full size * Thanks for all your time and comments. You are so good to me on here and I feel bad cause I haven't had time to come on and comment hardly will try and catch up here as I love nothing more than to see all your beautiful and very inspiring work !!! .. Love to all!!! ((( BIG HUGS ))) ♥ Kimmers :O)
