Seagulls in the Setting Sun

Seagulls on a tile roof. Carlsbad, California. It's been really hot, many days up in the 100's (F). Hot and dry in California means fires and Los Angeles is in the midst of a serious fire that is still burning out of control. Fires mean particulates in the air and haze. However, as with any cloud there is a silver lining. Particulates and haze lead to absolutely spectacular sunsets with gorgeous oranges and reds streaking the horizon.

Mission Beach Sunsets

It was really hazy today. When we have high pollution days it normally means that there is going to be an awesome, color-stoked sunset.

As if on cue, there was a glorious sunset at Mission Beach. Brilliant shades of orange, red and yellows reflecting off the water. You can see two surfers trying to get in that one last wave although, overall, the ocean was pretty calm.
