Another Dume room
PCH was shut down for much of yesterday - a fatal hit-and-run that cut off traffic to and from Pacific Palisades and beyond. Once newscasters got the word out, the thousands of cars that jump off the 101 and use PCH as a shortcut to the west side stopped as well. It was quiet here, a little like the old days, the Malibu I remember when I was a little girl and my dad used to take me to the pier for lunch. I couldn't get to my appointments in town so I went to Point Dume to do some whale watching. Saw about a dozen of them. Was able to photograph about zero. Here's the sea surge on the rocks below the Point. Restless, ceaseless, a low roar played against the counterpoint of gulls' cries and the bell buoy's rhythmic ring.
