Santa Monica Pier
Another great night
The California coastline has stunning sunsets all over, but one of my favorites is by Santa Monica pier. Whether it's the clouds or the weather conditions or something else, the colors produced during the sunset on this beach are always stunning, bordering on unreal. #SantaMonica #California #GoldenHour #weekendgetaway
