Newport Beach Pier

December 28, 2015 in Newport Beach, California where it had rained a bit earlier in the day.  Sunsets are wonderful here during the fall and winter months, but we never know how the cloud cover will react as the sun sets.  We were lucky this night to get some of the sun srays below the dense clouds.  The El Nino has given us water in the 70s despite the air temperature in the low 50s.  Hence, the surfers were still out.

Thank you for your comments.

Hey Patrick,
Wonderful, artistic scene with great colors and the pano works really well.
The large version should not be missed.
This would make a great 'Wall Hanger' . . .  devil

The large version really brings out the beauty in this image. It portrays a good sense of place.

Nice pano, and the surfers add a nice touch. As with your night shot of the pier, I think the blues and cyans are little too strong. The clouds and the pier's reflection look very nice.
