A day at the beach

Living approximately 10 miles away from the Pacific Coast, it's quite surprising that we hardly visit the beach. Spent a Saturday at the Will Rogers State Park, Santa Monica. The drive along the Old Topanga Canyon road to CA-1 is always and will be my favorite drive ( the day I got my license, I took my car for a spin here after forcing a few friends to accompany me :D) I still remember they holding on tight to their seat belts along the hairpin turns...some memories will always remain memorable eh!

Venice Beach - the funky town and its street performers

Was at Venice Beach a few weeks ago with Sebu (http://mycaptureoftime.wordpress.com/). I love this beach for the fact it is different from all other beaches in LA. It's not the surf or the scuba divers or the snorkelers or the LA  girls that attracts tourists here..it's the street performers, musicians, jugglers and the funky shops  along the boadwalk that makes this beach so famous. The funky town!

Stroll along the row of seafront businesses (are they really all tattoo parlours?) and take the opportunity to people-watch in one of California's more unique communities

Reminded me a bit of the beaches in Goa...very lively. The boardwalk performers are an amazing lot..making their living out fo their suphuman acrobatic feats !

Yet another sunset....shot from the Jumeriah Beach...

The Orangoe Football... @the Jumeriah beach... a personal fav !

 The Creek.

The Plunge! I was fascinated by this artificial waterfall and the "i-robot" type figures on a dive!  All this in the worlds largest shopping mall -  in Dubai!
