Laguna Beach, Orange County California


In the past few years I have had the honor of living and working in southern California. I am privileged to live close to one of the most spectacular beaches, Laguna Beach.  The photo here is taken on a day that is rare for southern California, cloudy with rain in the forecast.

I arrived at the Laguna Beach historic lifeguard station early in the morning before may people were awake.  It was cold(ish), relatively speaking, but worth the suffering (lol) through the 50 degree weather to take in the sights, sounds and smells of Laguna Beach.

I have photographed the lifeguard station many times during the sun and sunset, this is the first time I had the opportunity to photograph her during a darker time.  Even with the clouds I think this place is spectacular.

I want to wish everyone well.  No matter what clouds we are dealing with there are sunny times coming shortly.
