This is a sunset we saw at the Monterey coast. It was nothing very spectacular. In fact, it really bombed. This was the most color that I witnessed and it did not last very long. At first though, the sunset seemed quite promising. We were going back to our motel from the day’s outing, and the clouds looked not too bad, so I suggested to my wife that we go down to the beach for sunset. She was all game for that of course. So while the kids played on the beach, I was off to take pictures. I decided to walk up on the dunes overlooking the beach and ocean and settled on this spot. Another photographer had this plan also, and he also agreed with me that the sunset bombed that night. Oh well.

In the meantime, my wife and kids found about a “million” dead jellyfish on the beach. I did not see them as I was up on the dunes, but she said it was very odd. It was also around this day that a large number of fish had washed up on shore south of here. And interestingly enough, this was the day before the big earthquake in Japan. Was this all a coincidence? I wonder.
