Solstice
The first sunset of winter at Broad Beach yesterday, so much color that my camera went on the fritz. Some of the photos came out so crazy bright and gaudy, all that was missing were hippos and elephants pirouetting through Dance of the Hours. These shots are pretty much as things looked: indigo, blue, violet and gold. Lots of gold. Broad Beach was quiet, some dogs, some strollers, a big, bearded backpacker moving fast, headed south. Last light brought silent flights of pelicans, gliding, riding low, headed home.
