Flows like Water: Pacifica's Beaches and Striking Waves

Such strong currents, creating a spectacular view where waves wash up to the shore, delivering a stunning art show with its foam-like surface. 

The waves have such striking textures all around, looking very 3D in a 2D frame. 

Sunset Colors: Pink + Orange Dreams at the Walkway

Pier 7 Walkway Sunset Part I: One of the most photogenic walkways ever, stunning during day, sunset, and night. Before the lights turned on, I captured this picture of the setting sun from the other side. 

Clear skies are covered by a couple wispy high clouds, with the Bay Bridge and pastel hues complementing it in the background. 

When the Wind Shifts: Cloudy Pink Sunsets in the City

High pressure causes some spectacular skies, clouds, and sunsets. 

I particularly liked how this sunset really captured the day really well, highlighting the amount of cloud activity that's been happening throughout and the breakthrough of the skies, while still offering enough clarity of the nearby surrounding buildings and trees. 

The contrast in the colors also makes it a pretty cool, slightly dramatic scene.
