Sunset at the cliffs

First day in the past few weeks that fog did not cover up the sunset... too much. Once I noticed that the sun would actually be visible after 6pm, I jumped in the car and drove over to Sunset Cliffs in Ocean Beach. This was a last minute setup so didn't get a chance to really scout a location to work with. I might revisit that big rock again soon though.

I like the change of color in these two photos. They were both taken within 15 minutes of one another!

La Jolla..... Again!

As you can tell from all my posts, I love La Jolla. I was just telling a good friend of mine how La Jolla is such an extraordinary little place. In this small stretch of coastline, it's maybe a mile, you have caves, cliffs, coral, sandy beaches, alien-like rocks, and so much wildlife that it's truly astonishing how so much can fit into this tiny area!

La Jolla is also home to the nations highest home prices for the past three years, averaging just over $2 million. Another interesting fact about La Jolla is that from 1920 into the 1970's you were only allowed to purchase property if you were of "pure" European descent... not including Jews. That changed though when UCSD was built and residents thought that "you can't have a university without Jewish professors." The antisemitism has of course disappeared and there's a thriving Jewish community in La Jolla now. Thank you Wikipedia for that one.

Here's a few more photos from this past Sunday. 

I have five friends visiting this week so it's more than likely that I won't have a post up until next week. Comic-con is this week! Let's say that my next post will probably include a fair share of cosplay.

La Jolla Waterways

The sunsets here in San Diego have been great all week and just loaded with color. I finally got my chance today to do some shooting. The sun was out all day with just a few scattered clouds in the area... perfect. I hopped in the car and drove ten minutes to La Jolla to find something I was not expecting. A blanket of clouds had filled the sky! As soon as I pulled up the sun disappeared behind the clouds. 

Here's a few photos from tonight that caught my eye. I should have some more posted tomorrow.

Now off to watch the season premiere of Breaking Bad!
