<\/a> So, Santa Monica has the widest and longest sandy beach you could ever imagine, and yet this guy gets his kite caught in the one powerline out there. It just dawned on me today that it’s almost impossible to photograph a sunset over the water in Southern California because most of the beaches face south. Why do I know this? I found myself all the way up at Zuma Beach before I gave up trying. So here’s a shot of Zuma Beach, the sun going behind a hill, and me about to pack the car and leave. Ok, so I gave up on the sun, but the moon came out. The moon is 230,000 miles away, and my car has 220,000 miles on it. I’m almost there. I suppose I could have spent the last 9 years driving to the moon, but there are no 7-11’s along the way.<\/p>\n
