Description


I've seen this pier and the Huntington Beach Pier many times on BP and loved them. I can't believe I finally got to take my very own shots of it. I Love This Beach!

This is what the European Man was taking so many photos of when I was waiting my turn. The image is in my gallery right now. The title of that image "Elements". I took several photos and have my top two. This was one because of the setting I used that made the flow of the water softer than real life.

Over Sleepy Hollow:) #11165351

Pom, you've been hiding a very talented part of yourself, and this photo shows it: the silky waves are rolling forward between what look like diamond-studded columns, and --- in Black and White!! What a concept! I will never look at Huntington Beach's Pier (though this is probably Oceanside) the same way again... Fave! #11165745

Gee...you've titled this "Oceanside Pier"...Now I feel like you felt about the female lion having a mane... :/ #11165748

Absolutely so very extremely wonderful, Laura! Very wonderful and well done in my humble opinion!! #11166057

Thank you Michelle, Colette, Monnie, Mare, SSSKiki, Doug, and Ellen!! I took a bunch showing the entire depth, too. It was hard to decide which one to enter.

Mare, don't worry at all. My mistake was WAY worse than yours. Just ask the LION! HeeHee. All of you would love it there! Just ask Doug! :))) I appreciate all you have said, each of you! -Laura :) #11166099

Excellent sense of depth and veiling of the water, Laura. Glad you were in line for this one. #11166267
