Santa Monica part II

Let your wave crash down on me and take me away - Ocean Avenue (Yellowcard)

That's my theme song for that day. Why wouldn't it be? That song was about Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. It's just besides the beach itself. As I went to Santa Monica beach again, I went there a little bit late since my primary goal is to take a photo of the sunset (which didn't happened yesterday since I ran out of battery). As I was taking more photos along the beach. I just feel a certain calmness of the breeze. People having fun, and children enjoying their school breaks and having fun at the water. Couples walking along the shore together as the sun goes down (and I truly envy them!). There's such a satisfying feeling that overwhelms my whole being. There's a certain contentment that I feel in me. It's like taking photos of this place does not only bring me joy, but also a message. That life is calm like a breeze. You just have to accept it with open arms. Every photos I took has something to say. Has a certain meaning in it. Besides the message or emotions I want to portray in every picture I took.

I'm excited to show the photos to my friends and see how far I can go with this photography thing. It really lets me explore thing that I can never imagined to do. Talk about hidden talent! It is really a great feeling for me to be in this place. As the sun is about to bid farewell that day. A certain aura was covering my whole being. So serene, so peaceful. As I look at the sunset, I can hear it's voice. Like it was talking directly to my mind. As the day ends, a new day awaits with hope. Just like the song of Semisonic (Closing Time) - "Every new beginning comes from some another beginning's end." As I was about to head home. I took a last glimpse of the beach. I will always remember this place. One of the best places I went.
