Simple Splendor
Torrance Beach, CA

Right before sundown. In another couple of minutes the disc started to slip into the cloud bank, so by the time it reached the horizon line it was already gone, but at this moment, the sun was bright and round.
I did get a shot of the pelican as he crossed in front of the disc by the way, however he was too far away and there was too much glare. Now you know I could do some digital magic, even position other birds in the shot from other photos, but I chose not to.
I like the simplicity of this. The sea was quite active closer to the shore, but this is a full 400mm telephoto shot, and the water was calmer farther out.
The mountains rising in the distance are Malibu.
