California-Santa Monica, the ocean and the pier. My impressions in a lot of pictures with descriptions. #Some of my memories from journeys (last part)

in #travel7 years ago (edited)
Santa Monica welcomed us with a cloudy and misty day but very high temperature. I think it was good for us because if it was a sunny day it would be too hot. Obviously the weather wasn't good for my shots but I had only one day so I did what I could.
In my opinion Santa Monica is such a beautiful place that even in the cloudy little foggy day the pier and the beach reflected their charm ;) I totally agree when somebody would say dramatic shots. Yes, indeed. However, I think it is an interesting perspective of the landscape which gave me that spectacular and mysterious light.

Beautiful pier with lots of shops, restaurants and street musicians. At the entrance is almost a hundred years old building of the hippodrome, where there is a beautiful old-style carousel as well as an amusement park. Wide sandy beach just perfect for walking. The gentle sand and warm ocean rocked our feet. On the pier ends the road 66.

My shots in Santa Monica ( enjoy my collection from that amazing place )
