RE: California Sunsets #33 – More Seagulls

in #photography7 years ago

That is what us locals call it.. the notorious Pico runoff. it use to be a all year around runoff right into the ocean, thus contributing to all the pollution back in late 90's. They blocked it off and added a filtering so it is only open during hard rains. Rarely do I see it filled up like that. And yes, the seagulls keep following me. maybe they think I'm food!

Sort:  

You know what they say, if a bird bombs you, its good luck! So keep hanging around those birds! I remember those days when nobody swam in Santa Monica Bay because of the pollution.

I too remember those days, even when I moved here in the mid-90's. Thank god its much clearer now.

Well said. They use to call it the ghetto by the sea. Btw.. thanks man!
