California beaches are always crowded, except packages of time that only locals would be around.  I love the quiet time with a few people in sight.  It seems that one owns the ocean all for him/herself.  This image is from one of those rare quiet occasions. (www.alfaphotography.com )

It's a humbling experience to look at the ocean from above.  Its vastness is overwhelming, exaggerated by the smallness of the human figures.  Do we treat this magnificent natural phenomena with proper respect?  (www.alfaphotography.com )
