A few days away in Monterey, California, to reflect, to remember that beauty abounds; to know that friendship is sitting close together and talking about the good times.
While Sally posts about Street Photography on her blog today, I chose Beach Photography. Is that like Street Photography, only on the beach?

Stunning picture – it says it all about friendship – just the sitting and the thinking and the occasional talking – perfect! c

Thanks,Cecilia. Sometimes just being with a friend(the one I love) and just being there, no talking, is transformational.

It almost always is in Northern California, badfish. It was pretty nice during the day while we were there, but at sunset it started getting downright cold.

I would not have thought that the beach would translate so well into B&W, Angeline. Was I ever wrong. This photo is quite beautiful.

Angeline, you’ve captured a moody and somber time at the shoreline–one that can lead to calm, quiet and tranquility. Happy Photo Challenge.
