Local color - the Self-Realization-Fellowship dome in Encinitas

With holiday lights 

More interesting clouds from Swaami's cliffs

 

Mix of light and dark clouds in different layers

Maybe interesting to David 

Lots of surfers out there

Looking south from the cliffs above Swaami's beach near sunset on 12/11/05. Surfing is a really popular sport in Encinitas. 

That burnished-gold look

Sunset from the cliffs above Swaami's beach - the high vantage point is great for this kind of shot. 

Birds with waves

 

Swaami's wave 5

You can see an almost fully imprisoned tube of air inside this wave... 

Swaami's wave 4

 

Swaami's wave 3

 

A pretty nice day at the beach

That hazy beach look. 

Swaami's wave 2

I was trying to get that green color when the sun comes through the wave, so I shot right into the sun and overexposed a lot...
