Happy Monday! I arrived on scene late for the first sunrise of winter when the sun was already high above the horizon, but as a reward the shimmer was super-wide and beautifully even. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Nice little panorama tonight at sunset. It was cloudy in Santa Barbara but in 28 minutes I was above the marine layer for another killer light show! Also, Happy Winter Solstice, my favorite day of the year!

Tonight’s sunset at Pacific Beach in San Diego, California

#sandiego #sdca #pacificbeach #beach #surfing #sunset #sunsetchasers #ocean #landscapes_lovers #photography

Two people walk along the shoreline at low tide, seen as small silhouettes against a pastel sky. Pink and pale gold clouds stretch above the ocean, while dark, wet sand in the foreground reflects the sky in long, rippled bands.
