Hermosa Beach, California, February 2009

It was nearing sunset, and I had a rare moment where Newport Beach had grown boring. I needed some new scenery, so I headed west, watching the sun dip further and further in the sky, timing it so I could be closer to the seashore as it finally kissed the horizon. As luck would have it, I ended up in Hermosa Beach. Hermosa is spanish for "Beautiful."

Aptly named.
