Description
Hermosa Beach, CA..........This is a special place to me, as I moved here back when I was 19 years old, by myself, and it was a wonderful little adventure! I have some truly great memories of this place!! My teeny tiny studio apartment was only a block and a half up from the beach, so almost every evening, I would go down and take a walk on the beach to watch the sunset..........Here's what Wikipedia has to say about this wonderful place: Hermosa Beach is a beachfront city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. Its population was 19,506 at the 2010 census, up from 18,566 at the 2000 census..........The city is located in the South Bay region of the greater Los Angeles area and is one of the three Beach Cities. Hermosa Beach is bordered by the other two, Manhattan Beach to the north and Redondo Beach to the south and east..........The city's beach is popular for sunbathing, beach volleyball, surfing, paddleboarding and bars. The city itself extends only about 15 blocks from east to west and 40 blocks from north to south, with the Pacific Coast Highway running down the middle. Situated on the Pacific Ocean, Hermosa's average temperature is 70 degrees in the summer and 55 degrees in the winter. Westerly sea breezes lessen what can be high summertime temperatures in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the county and help keep the smog away 360 days of the year..........A paved path, called The Strand, runs along Hermosa's beach from Torrance Beach in the south approximately twenty miles north to Santa Monica and the Hermosa Beach pier is at the end of Pier Avenue, which is one of the beach community's main shopping, eating and partying areas.

Great photo laurie, The supports are so important for this structure and yet from this angle you can see they are covered with barnacles and the ocean is not always nice to things that are put in it. Fantastic work. L/F
