Tokyo Mosque

With our move to Japan we didn't expect to get a view of a mosque. In fact, I didn't even know there was a mosque. But it has a prominent fixture in our home as we can see it from any room on the western side of our apartment. It's particularly beautiful in the evening and the sun sets behind it.

This shot was taken on one of our first nights here in our new place in Tokyo.

Sunset at the Beach

This is a pretty simple shot taken at Ocean Park, between Santa Monica and Venice beaches. Nothing really more to add to the shot other than I think it was one of the more peaceful and serene sunsets I had seen in a while. The shadowed, black palm trees offer a nice contrast with the multi-colored sky in the background. This view just screams Southern California to me.

The 18th at Coronado

I'm a horrible golfer, but I'd like to think that golf can be time well spent, especially when you're witness to a spectacular sunset.

In 2002, a group of friends played a round of golf at a public course on Coronado Island in San Diego. We were approaching the green on the 18th hole when I noticed the deep colors of the sunset reflecting off the lake. Everything in the background was shadowed black, including the ducks. The only color was was the sunset and that light which reflected off the water. It was truly a nice moment.
