El Granada

Half Moon Bay

So I tend to see a lot of sunsets as you might find out... my favorite part is seeing how the textures and colors evolve and shift in the sky as the light perspective changes. I loved watching the Sand Pipers dance with the waves as they came in. That's Half Moon Bay in the distance and the world famous surf spot, Mavericks, just to the left of the headland.

NO EDITING: cold and cloudy day at Mavericks. #JayMoriarty got famous here.... #California

This place is actually pretty lame but the large crowds, and naval base in the hills make for an interesting silhouette.
