Friday sunrise blogging: 
Photo taken on 3 May 2005, facing east-southeast. Body of water is the Ballona Channel which runs into the Pacific Ocean next to Marina Del Rey, California. A bird is barely discernible in the lower left. Somewhat visible are the buildings of
Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles . Below the sun and slightly to the right is the bell tower of Sacred Heart Chapel; to the right of the tower is a row of tall palm trees that run along the edge of the cliff. This picture was selected mostly for the color and lighting on the water. It has not been modified, except for resizing and cropping.

Sorry, but it's really not very good quality. And it's way past sunrise.
Thanks. I like the monochrome effect. Back in the sixties I spent many hours riding waves at that very spot. A south swell would reflect off the northern side of the channel and make for a very interesting wave that allowed your board to go very fast but never get much further from the rocks as it moved up the creek.
Back then the other side of those rocks was called Hubbyland - a long sand beach that separated Playa Del Rey from Venice. Now of course, it has become the entrance to the huge marina. Hubby was a hobo who lived there then. It was great place for all night beach parties as the cops never came around.
Now I live in the Pacific Northwest and flyfishing and bluegrass have become my obsessions of choice. Thanks for the memories.
Hi. Great site. I'm always looking for fly fishing gear info and sites to recommend and I have to say that yours is one of the better ones. I'll post again soon.
