California Sunsets #70 ~ SOS

in #photography5 years ago


It’s been a tough few weeks for many with the Stock and Crypto Markets tanking and the devastating fires here in California. It certainly makes one reflect on what is truly important, more so with the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US.

Thought it appropriate to post photos of those that help save lives –
Lifeguards off the coast of Santa Monica.


This photo was taken last Thursday in Ocean Park, Santa Monica

This was taken this past Sunday morning in Pacific Palisades.

Dude, the first picture looks like a Aivazovsky painting! I hope you took that in HD to get a print of it. Amazing shot! Mom told me about Avo's relatives and the fire. Brutal.

I am impressed that you even remember Aivazovsky! It is quite similar and certainly on worth about 5 SP as opposed to a million USD! Yes I was with Avo last night. very tragic. Rains were not as bad down here, hopefully up north there were no mud slides.

Ya, that sucks about Avo's relatives. Doesn't our cuz have one of those paintings in france? Hopefully they come out this year.

Thanks for this nice post full of positive energy my friend! It was very kind of you to pay tribute to the lifeguards through it. Stay strong Cali people.

Thanks @phortun. It really sucks out here. Found out last night a close friend lost 2 relatives in the Malibu fires. Recent immigrants (refugees) who came from Aleppo.

Oh man, this is so sad... I am really sorry :(( After escaping the terrors of the Syrian war, they were surely hoping for better life in California but instead... This is truly heartbreaking :(

It is very soothing to the eyes looking at these photos @armentor

Thank you my friend!

I just read your comments on here and I am so sorry for your friend. How devastating for that to happen to anyone, but, for those that left their life to start a new, better life, the tragedy is double-fold.

A safe Thanksgiving to you and all those in harm's way.
