Watching the sunset at this beach was a moment in time I wish I could stop and relive. The rocks are so beautifully complemented by the soft sand and powerful soft green waves. There’s sun stained logs around the beach and countless opportunities for photography! The rocks you can climb on towards the right side of the beach have “pockets” that capture the sea spray from waves that come from all directions slamming into the cliff side with such power. I watched the sky dance with purple and orange streaks as the sun said farewell for the day while lying on a wooden bench. The perfect way to relax at the end of a day.

This was something I’d been wanting to do for a bit! Hiking along the spine of this mountain on the trail. There are many places to stop to get a full view of LA and from that elevation, it’s quite beautiful. Getting to observe the lively city from afar. Wisdom tree is a great place to photograph it. It’s quite steep actually and there’s a fun bit where you go under trees. Feels a bit forest like, but then you get to the glorious Hollywood Sign. Breathtaking to say the least!
