Sunset watch, Mission Beach, San Diego, CA 2010

Every sunset expresses its own special character. This one is laced and crowned with layers of clouds, spaced enough to reveal the full disc of the sun as it hangs over the Pacific Ocean. A string of spectators watch from the edge of the water, spaced far enough from each other along the beach to allow silence and contemplation. The moment is rich in atmosphere and mood – nature even brings a golden reflection to the edge of the beach itself, linking it to the setting sun.

I made this image from the second floor window of Joe's Crab Shack restaurant -- the vantage point was high and wide enough to make those people separate into those distinct groupings.

Lovely - The people seem to be both in the moment and yet as very distinct sets - everyone brings his or her own agenda to a beautiful sunset.
