Aliso Creek Sunset

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

I was driving down Crown Valley Parkway heading towards PCH yesterday evening when an incredible sunset started to unfold before me as I came down the last stretch to PCH… I grabbed my camera, pulled over into Aliso Creek in Laguna Beach and snapped some shots. Enjoy.

A great way to end the day – watching the sky go through chromatic acrobatics over the glorious Pacific Ocean…

Big Surf – Aliso Creek, Laguna Beach

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Over the 4th of July weekend, the forecast called for big surf brought on by a storm that had been churning since late June in the South Pacific. Surfline has a good article and some other photos on it here. I was on my way home and decided to top by Aliso Creek to see how things were looking and snapped a couple of pix of a few crunchy waves and a couple of buttery ones. Here are the pix:

I loved the articulation of the lip on this wave; something very Edo-era Japanese about it

After seeing the waves at Aliso Creek, I had to go see what the Wedge in Newport Beach was doing… that’s my next post… enjoy…
