So Very Los Angeles

Just Above Sunset

December 25, 2005 - So Very Los Angeles

Thursday, December 22, 2005 - a storm a thousand miles out in the Pacific brings the highest surf anyone can remember. Inland it was sunny and eighty, but the beaches were socked in with fog. But it's Christmas. Irving Berlin wrote "White Christmas" one December out here while sitting in the sun under a palm by a pool just down Sunset Boulevard, as he explains in the words to the seldom-performed verse before the main melody. It's odd out here. Here, Santa and surfers -

There's a photo album of thirty-five shots you will find here.

Christmas on 42nd Street in Manhattan - Manhattan Beach, California that is -

On the strand, snowmen and palm trees –

On the strand, a very odd Santa –

But there are little touches, like Santa's train -

And there is this cool railing –

Here Santa watches the surfers from his glass room high above the strand –

The tree on Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach -

If you use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me.

There is a copyright notice at the bottom of this page, of course.

These were shot with a Nikon D70 – lens AF-5 Nikor 18-70mm 1:35-4.5G ED or AF Nikor 70-300mm telephoto.

They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0
