Just a break from all the canyon shots, I present to you the Santa Monica pier from Santa Monica, CA. Since we returned from NY after new year’s we both have been quite busy and decided to take a trip to coast which is about 10 miles from where we live and visit all the piers on the pacific ocean. We decided to visit the Santa Monica pier first and got some pretty decent shots. I would have loved some clouds and may be a little less haze but I am happy with the results.

This was my best shot of the evening, hope you all like it. Thanks for visiting and have a happy Monday.

It's amazing how many people cram on to this pier in the summer on a Sunday.

We recently had a chance to go to the Santa Monica pier which even though is located practically in our neighborhood, we usually avoid due to the massive amount of tourist traffic in the weekend. I wanted a good sunset shot with the pier and its big wheel but as the sunset neared the sky became incredibly cloudy and monotonic. I got my big stopper out just so I could freeze all those people walking across the frame out and ended up with this shot. Thanks for visiting hope you enjoyed the shot.
