My favorite vintage store in Solana Beach, California....I love this place! Debi the owner of the store, changes her laundry line every day, so you never see the same things twice!
Fiat Lux! (Latin for Let there be light!). And right out of the blue endless sky there comes light. This is true candid street photo of a normal miracle. A bit surreal, of course, but surreal no more than our life itself.
Using cream, acrylic paint.
With a thicker base drop to create the internal crown.

The Bahia Honda Rail Bridge is a disused bridge in the lower Florida Keys connecting Bahia Honda Key with Spanish Harbor Key. Originally part of the Overseas Railway, the State of Florida purchased it after the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane and converted it to provide automobile use as part of the Overseas Highway in 1938. After a replacement Bahia Honda Bridge was opened in 1972, two spans of the bridge were removed to accommodate boat traffic and make the majority of the bridge inaccessible to pedestrian traffic, but the rest remain standing.
It was originally built by Henry Flagler as part of the Overseas Railroad which was completed in 1912. Flagler funded the construction of the bridge, along with the rest of the railway himself. It was purchased by the state of Florida and converted for highway use in 1938 after the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Rather than completely rebuilding the bridge after the hurricane, the existing structure was repaired and the deck for the Overseas Highway was added on top, as the existing deck inside the truss was too narrow for vehicular traffic. The bridge served as the primary mode of transport to the islands of the lower Keys, and as a primary evacuation route.
A new four-lane bridge was built in 1980, a few hundred yards north of the old bridge, replacing the old route of U.S. 1. Today, the former bridge provides a scenic overview of the area for tourists. Two of the truss spans have been removed in order to facilitate boat traffic, as the new bridge has an increased span height. The original bridge has fallen into a state of disrepair and signs have been posted on the bridge warning boat traffic to watch for falling debris, but all of the sections have remained standing (not counting the two that were removed). The easternmost section remains open to pedestrian traffic and is maintained by Bahia Honda State Park ~ Bahia Honda Rail Bridge ~ Spanish Harbor Key ~ Bahia Honda Key ~ Lower Keys U.S.A.

A man entered into the field of view just as I took this shot, seen here in the far left of the image as a darkened upright area surrounded by blue bokeh. A couple of seconds later, out of the blue and much to my bewilderment, he picked up a street litterbin and held it well above his head before hurling it towards me. It missed me by a metre or two. Apparently he doesn't like having his photo taken, and had assumed that I was taking a photo of him. Since it is barely possible to make out a human form here, I have doubts that anyone could possibly recognise him from this image.
I was almost about to lose my faith
Was still dreaming but feared it was too late
But then you came along to my surprise
And stole my heart before my very eyes
You took me right out of the blue
Simply by showing that you love me too
Only by giving me your everything
With a love so true you took me out of the blue
I was wondering what love was all about
I was trying but couldn’t work it out
But then you came along to my surprise
And stole my heart before my very eyes
You took me right out of the blue
Simply by showing that you love me too
Only by giving me your everything
With a love so true you took me out of the blue
You let me out of the darkness
You brought me out in the sun
I think you must be the only one for me
Cos you took me
Right out of the blue
Simply by showing that you love me too
Only by giving me your everything
Breathing air below my wings
You took me right out of the night
Simply by filling my heart with light
Only by giving me your energy
With a love so true you took me out of the blue
