Description
I'm still in southern California (that's beginning to get repetitive, isn't it?? lol) and a few days ago a friend and went to Santa Monica. I got this shot just after sundown. No one was on any of these rides, it might have been closed, I'm not sure. Years ago,when I was a kid, there was another pier not far from this one. There was an amusement park called Pacific Ocean Park** and had a roller coaster at the very end. As you went down that first huge drop, all you could see was water--it was a blast!! POP's been gone for a long time, but this new place sure made for a great foto!!

Very cool!
Cool shot!
Nice shot. I like the old wooden coasters with the shaking and creaking.
Fantastic shot! They must have closed the park so you could get this great shot. What luck.
What a beautiful shot. Looks very romantic and filled with good memories, like the end of summer.
Superb capture!
Lovely capture of the roller coaster and ferris wheel bathed in the setting sun Marilyn, amazing shot..well done!!
I am in So Cal. I have yet to go shoot SM and the pier. I need to, this inspires me. Nice shot!
Beautiful shot! I love it!
Awesome shot, it's gorgeous!
wonderful colors warm hugs, Linda
This is an exceptional sunset capture. Very well caught. Dana
What a wonderful photo...it is that magical time of the day!
Oh, I am SO getting on that thing, the roller coaster, I mean...the Ferris Wheel is a bit too...serene, even though it looks great here! Whenever I'm at amusement parks, I kinda go for the rides that make me feel like I'm flying at mach 2 with my hair on fire. That's pure bliss!!! This is very vivid, very clear...just perfect! I love this shot. WOW.
It certainly is a great pic, Marilyn, but you wouldn't get me on there!
Excellent image Marilyn! It is so familiar in movies!!! Well done indeed! :)
I remember POP! We used to go there when I was a kid, and I remember when it closed...I remember the smell of corn dogs and vomit below the coaster, and seeing lots of sailors on leave...ah, the good old days! LOL! This is a classic shot with a Marilyn sky, beautiful and dreamy and a childhood icon!
Great shot!
There is no stillness...no quiet...quite like that of an amusement park when no one is around. Its like the sounds of the crowd are whisked away on a sudden breeze and all you are left with is the memory. Stellar shot, Marilyn!
Perfect timing....Beautiful... Aloha
Great image!
i love the crop
Lovely light on this twilight scene, the amber colour is so rich and the coaster silouette makes a striking contrast. Just beautiful Marilyn.
Cool shot!
An excellent photo, and I LOVE the crop!!!
Great shot. I love Santa Monica. I especially love that blue colour on the left, and the fact that you took the shot in the fading light.
Lovely shot! The roller-coaster looks like a snake poised to eat the ferris wheel. I love sunset shots and this one totally rocks.
Wonderful sunset, the silhouetted structure set if off beautifully
