Kongo took this image yesterday under the Scripps Pier in La Jolla, California about 10 minutes past sunset. He mounted his Canon 7D on a tripod, used a EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens set at f22 for five seconds.
Scripps Pier is a private research pier located between La Jolla Shores and Black’s Beach. It is owned by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
Travel safe. Have fun

Gorgeous photo. I love the perspective.
Thank you!
Fantastic shot
Thank you.
Great image Kongo. I like the colors and the cross hatch pattern created by the waves in the foreground. I might have run into you if I would have decided to shoot Scripps yesterday after being shut out from Salk. Instead, I went to shoot the Geisel Library at UCSD.
Mark, we keep circling each other. Some day we’re going to have to make a photo date! Thanks for the nice words.
Yeah a photo date sounds good. However, I must say, when you get a group of people that share the same hobby together, it usually results in gear envy and hemorrhaging large amounts of money 🙂
You’re right about that but from what I can tell, all the envy will be pointed in your direction, not mine! 🙂
I was going to suggest that you tag this under “postaday” for the Weekly Photo Challenge, but it seems like you already did 🙂 haha. Nice shot.
Thank you!
I love this kind of under the pier shot. The monkey scores highly on lucent colour. 🙂
Thanks, Jo. He’s a lucent monkey.
wunderbar!

Peter, thank you so much for the kind words.
Awesome job!
Kongo this shot is amazing – I want to have it blown up to put on my wall because it looks like the pier can take you all the way to the setting sun. I love it!!
Seriously, ah-ma-zing! So dreamy! I love it!
LOVE this photo Kongo!
Well captured, what a gifted monkey! Love the colours, the perspective, makes for a powerful image.
Thank you Sue!
