January 27: Ventura Sunrise

Ventura, CA

It feels like I took this image days ago, however in practice it was just this early this morning before I spent a full day interviewing some really talented people who are Social Work managers, and then I tackled the Los Angeles freeways driving all the way from Santa Barbara to San Diego.

I just got it in. I’m relieved I had this shot in the “can,.” although it isn't that good. I’ve never missed a posting!

I just read all the caring comments about not being on the train that wrecked yesterday. Thank you so much for that you all. Yes, two of my favorite women were with me yesterday! Their names? Sara and Dippity. ;-O (And a big touch of grace from above).

Pentax Optio 550
1/4s f/2.8 at 7.8mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Such amazing colors Robin! Love the sweep of the water. Guess you know how lucky you are to live in such a beautiful place, huh?

I have never seen this pier or your part of the world, and I think this photo is fabulous taken in this light.

Nicely composed. The light and colors of the ocean and sky are so attractive!

Beautiful shot. Remember, driving through LA sounds exotic to some people!

I like the way the lights on the pier draw my eyes across the image. Beautiful.

Good to know all is well Robin. I especially like the light on the water but all round it's a great photo.

Welcome home, Robin. Glad you're safe and sound. Nice pics the last couple of days -- sorry I haven't commmented on everything; this idea of conducting training five days a week is killing me!

LOL @ Pepe. Hey I had to drive to Santa Barbara otherwise I would have slept in. Traffic coming back wasn't too bad. I came across the on the 118 to the 210 to the 15. Longer in miles but only about 4 hours from Venturay in the teeth of the rush hour.
Pepe Zyman28-Jan-2005 06:37
I'm glad somebody wakes up early so I can see the sunrise :^)
How was the traffic?
Guest 28-Jan-2005 06:18
My eye follows the waves in the water, across and around your image! Beautifully composed!
Guest 28-Jan-2005 06:13

Guest 28-Jan-2005 06:05
