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?

oh what a wonderful place !!!!!! excellent shots .. thx for sharing !
Gorgeous colours and collage. Hugs my friend
Lovely series. It does look like a peaceful and lovely spot to watch the sunrise.
Looks like that sunrise just where you needed it was a bit of serendipity. Well done Kimmers ... this is beautiful work. But of course all of your work possesses a fine sense of panache.
My favorite time of day in my first place choice of a morning setting. Dawn at the ocean. Wow! I'm in heaven looking at your photographs. Beautiful and it makes music in my heart. Hugs, Suzanne
Oh! Fantabulous! I think I like the one with the seagull the most, or the one with all the boats.. But all of them are excellent! Good work!
