Santa Monica Beach & Sunset

After a few days of rain in California, I was finally able to make it to Santa Monica Beach to walk and watch the sunset.  I LOVE Santa Monica.  The cliffs meet the beach here, the mountains are in the distance, the houses along the beach are so unique and colorful, and the endless amounts of shops and restaurants always entertain me.

When I went, the weather was perfect for a sunset, with few clouds in the sky.  It was a little chilly (about 60 degrees), but this meant that the beach felt secluded and so peaceful.  I had to bundle up, but it was the perfect day to relax and enjoy the scenery since the closest person was at least 100 yards away.

Enjoy the pictures below.  I'm pretty impressed with my sunset shots, even though it is hard to capture the beauty and the way you feel when you are there.  The orange, red, and pink hues are so amazing and the colors reflect off of the homes along the sand.
