3 days a week, I wake up at the crack of dawn to go work out at the
beach in Santa Monica. I'm really not an early morning person. But,
the beautiful sunrise and visuals all around fill me with peace and
tranquility, making it all worth it and a great way to start my day.
This was taken out of my car window on my drive.
This photo was taken on January 4, 2006 using a Canon PowerShot S50.

I like it a lot but it reminds me of a vintage 1982 tshirt that I had when I was 5 that said Hollywood California in wierd cursive! LOL.
::enrapture:: (78 months ago | reply)
OH WOW! I was wondering why this was getting so many hits and comments. Last night before I went to bed I clicked on Explore and to my surprise it was the #1 interesting photo of the day. I never ever thought I'd get close to that considering there are so many brilliant photographers and images on flickr!
Again, I appreciate so much the praise and kind words. It's very inspiring.
@jhnwkfrd - you are every welcome. :)
@meg- thank you! no, this one was with my Canon PowerShot S50 - all properties are listed on the right. =)
@mimbrava - sure, I'll add it. cool!
@mylissa- I think I know what vintage t-shirt you are talking about. I wish I had one of those today..cause I'd totally sport it. ha!

Just about anything with palm trees gets me.
I was walking along the palisades once when I saw a couple girls taking pictures of pigeons - well the pigeons were f.cking... pretty funny sight.
Great effect with the enhanced color here.
