Storm tide in 1978 in the Shell Beach district of the City of Pismo Beach, California.

Millions upon millions of shells make up this beach. Sharp little buggers....

At the beach, after coming home from the other beach.

The main intersection. We looped to the left back to the beach, ending a good 10 km hike!

I don't photograph the moon and the tides together to often. The moon in the east and the ocean in the west. But every once in awhile the two can come together. I got a little lucky to have the clouds open up for me just for a minute to show the moon behind.

A shot of a sunset from Shell Beach, California that works well as an ubuntu wallpaper theme.

Sparkler on the 4th of July, Shell Beach, Inverness, Tomales Bay.

Charly was our first dog. She was Husky mixed with Golden Retriever (Goberian). One of many afternoon walks in the summer of 2005. When the tide is low this is a nice rock to climb and forget about life for a little while.

Do you like it in Color or B&W?
