<> Huntington Beach California <>

Continuing on with my exploration & documentation of just about everything including California's beautiful and geologically diverse beaches and coastline, once again we join a group of surfers who are out in force this overcast morning at Huntington Beach, appearing as diminutive dark specks in center frame - As usual, I prefer minimal editing, processing, and or image manipulation to preserve the purest look and feel possible - The sandy beach and foreground has a nice rugged dark wet & deep brown appearance which reflects the grumpy weather and true amount of moisture in the air this morning - To the middle left of the frame you can catch a tiny fleeting glimpse of a surfer negotiating a smaller wave - The few small clusters of indigenous flowers sprouting out of the front of the terra firma formation in the foreground adds just a "splash" of subtle & introverted contrasting color against the multiple brown & uniquely "Huntington Beach" earth tones -

 

Shortly after this photo was snapped, the sun flexed it's muscles and popped right through the thin cloud layer -
