as many of you know from my last post i spent some time in southern california last week. one of my favorite things to do when i'm in so cal is the take in the sunset. i was traveling out that was for almost 3 years before i ever made some time to soak in the magic of a west coast sunset..and since i did the first time, i now make it a regular occurrence. it's great for the soul!
so on one particular evening, i headed out to the redondo beach pier to hit happy hour and bathe in the soft rays of a south bay sunset. there is a great restaurant there called kincaid's where you can grab a great meal, or just a couple drinks on their outdoor patio and watch the golden sun slowly slip below the surface of the pacific ocean.
when i first arrived it was probably about 90 minutes before the sun would disappear for the evening. the sail boats were heading into the harbor and there was a gentle salty breeze blowing as the sun sank and it's warm rays danced on surface of the ocean.
i took a stroll on the pier around the restaurant watching the pelican's swoop down to catch their last meal of the day while the seals were frolicking in the harbor enjoying the final rays of sunshine.
after grabbing a drink a kincaid's i took a stroll to the other side of the pier, and while doing so was able to catch some beautiful views of the sunset. as the sun sank lower and lower the sky was bathed in fiery oranges & reds fading to the soft blue's of the evening sky that were quickly encroaching.
another 10 minutes later the sun had slipped beneath the horizon casting it's final golden rays across the sky until it rises in the east the next morning. for anyone that get's a chance to spend some time out in the south bay i highly recommend checking out redondo beach pier to catch the sunset. there are a bunch of great restaurants and some nice souvenir shops you won't be disappointed!
happy travels wherever the road may take you...
stay tuned for the next viewfromtheair
