La Tour, Victoria beach, Laguna Beach, CA

A 60 foot Norman style tower that was built in 1926 with a wooden spiral staircase in the tower's interior to permit access to the beach for the people who live in the home on the bluff. It is made of poured concrete and has an ocean stone foundation with a conical shingled roof.

It wasn't the sunset that I was hoping for, but at least there was a high tide and some nice wave action. Out of about 60 shots this was the only one that got a hint of gold light reflecting off the water and it just happened to be the one with the best wave action.........
