Scott Creek, North of Davenport, California

This a favorite place to stop along the coast.
Everytime I stop here it rewards me with a different arrangement of the lagoon and creek.
Normally where I was standing would be in the lagoon but a recent storm changed things once again.
So I took advantage of the place to stand and I've always wanted to do something with this bridge.
The contrast of the line along the edge of the lagoon was a nice device to lead the eye out to the sunset and then the reflection of the railing in the water draws it back again.
That adds some dynamic flow to the image.

Such great vision, such great play of light and shadow and form. Dynamic indeed!

Glass water and strond shapes--and the railing reflection reminds me so much of old film edges. Voted
