Different view of Santa Monica Pier
In greater Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Pier is a well-described attraction and visited by many. As a boy watching tv-show exteriors and locations from southern California, I’ve always wanted to visit Santa Monica and its Pier. Yes, the Pier is a tourist trap, but I cannot resist either beach or the ocean.
I was staying with friends living in Santa Monica, and on a warm sunny February afternoon, I walked to the Pier in 20 minutes, and spent a number of hours communing with the Pacific.
I made the photos on 22, 23, and 25 February 2012. This post appears on Fotoeins Fotopress (fotoeins.com).
A corresponding photo-gallery I made at Venice Beach is located here.
Lovely shots, as always
Thank you very much, Jen!
Gorgeous. I watched Baywatch as a kid (I know…), so I was always fascinated by California beaches. Thanks for showing me what you saw!
Hi, Christina. I think most would agree that the Pier itself is worth a shot or few, day or night. But as you’ve rightly said, I wanted to show something a little different and just as worthwhile at and around the Pier. Thanks for reading and for your comment!
