Just a couple shots from a stroll along Venice Beach this Sunday. Not that you can tell from these pictures, but this weekend marks the end of the “busy season” along the boardwalk. It wasn’t as crowded as I’ve seen it, but there were still plenty of people out enjoying the sites, sounds and smells of Venice. Good and bad in each category. The beaches were lined with surfers and sun worshipers as well. Luckily for everyone, the warm spell we’ve been having the last week or so subsided and temps dropped down to a near perfect (in my opinion) upper 70s. It was a nice day to be out.
