Panorama from two images. Processed by hand since Photoshop refused to automate things for me.

The lights on the left are from cars on US 101, aka PCH (Pacific Coast Highway), and various communities along the beach. 101 goes behind Rincon Mountain which is the landmass on the left. The big light in the sky is from the city of Ventura, about twenty-eight miles away.

Beautiful soft tones, I like this. I'm still struggling with photoshop and I know the feeling when it just doesn't cooperate :) but the mood here is well captured, imo.

So beautiful, the lights on the right give a nice touch to the composition!

Those lights make this extra strange. I like the feeling of a never-never land here.

Wide open sky, calm waters, all beautifully serene. Someday I hope to visit California. I've made it up & down the east coast and to Mexico (also east coast), but I've never been any further west than Pennsylvania.

Like the view from an evening flight. So good.

A little grey and gloomy. And the long view across the water and broad horizon exacerbates the feeling of inconsequence. So it's a photo with feeling and I like that. Not what I imagine Northern Southern California looks like. But I am sure the sun came up and it was a beautiful day.

I still love that song Ventura Highway. I'll be humming it in the back of my head the rest of the day. :)
