California Dreamin'

Sunset at Laguna Beach. July 24

There's nothing much more quintessential to the California experience than watching the sun set over the Pacific.  (Well maybe reading a little Joan Didion once in a while is better.) I think it has a lot to do with the vastness of it all-  the ocean, the sky, and the sun as it becomes larger moving closer to the horizon. But most of all, I enjoy the colors from red hot orange to deep purple.   I saw a brilliant sunset this week at Laguna Beach complete with silhoutted palm trees on the horizon.  It doesn't get much more California than this and it was certainly not to be missed.
