Scenes From a Sunday Drive; or, Why We Come to California

Posted on 05:00 by Guy
These photos were taken driving south on the Pacific Coast Highway from Point Mugu, north of Malibu, to Santa Monica on the Sunday morning of Labor Day weekend. They were edited using iPhoto, but primarily for cropping, composition, and brightness adjustments--I haven't enhanced the colors.

My daily routines don't offer the chance to spend many sunny mornings on the coast, but when we do get an opportunity to seize the day--and the day is just what the Convention and Visitors Bureau ordered--I understand and remember the lure of Southern California. Scenes like this are why people come here, and part of why--despite the traffic, sprawl, crowds, cost of living, and general screwed-up-ness--some of us don't leave.
