Santa Monica welcomed us with a cloudy and misty day but very high temperature. I think it was good for us because if it was a sunny day it would be too hot. Obviously the weather wasn't good for my shots but I had only one day so I did what I could.

In my opinion Santa Monica is such a beautiful place that even in the cloudy little foggy day the pier and the beach reflected their charm ;) I totally agree when somebody would say dramatic shots. Yes, indeed. However, I think it is an interesting perspective of the landscape which gave me that spectacular and mysterious light.

Beautiful pier with lots of shops, restaurants and street musicians. At the entrance is almost a hundred years old building of the hippodrome, where there is a beautiful old-style carousel as well as an amusement park. Wide sandy beach just perfect for walking. The gentle sand and warm ocean rocked our feet. On the pier ends the road 66.

My shots in Santa Monica ( enjoy my collection from that amazing place )

The view to Navy Pier

Beautiful beach and the ocean when I enjoy my walking and relaxing

My lovely ocean full of power and help in their amazing waves

Some of the people really had fun in that day. I captured a girl enjoying the waves as well as me ;)

I could really just sit there and enjoy it magnificent ocean and the wind which moved my hair in the different directions ;)

Wonderful and delicate sand of Santa Monica Beach :)

I hope you do not have enough of my pictures of the ocean ;)

It not so hard to take the shot of the seagull. They are like everywhere looking for food ;)

Street musicians and his parrots.

I hope you like the trip to beautiful Santa Monica with amazing views of the ocean and the pier. Santa Monica was my last stop. Thank you for being with me during my all trip in October. I recommend everyone to visit California I'm convinced that each one of you will find something valuable and amazing for yourself. Maybe my posts helped you in deciding or even writing down in a bucket list ;)
