Mile 14 and in the heart of the Marina

No, I was just being a drama queen, I'm wimping out and walking it out. I have been doing this on Jan. 1 for past few years. Before then I was doing a regular hike. This bike path runs along the beach for 22 miles from Torrance to Santa Monica except for 2 inland jags, one at Redondo Beach Marina andtbe other where these photos were taken, the main channel going into the Marina Del Rey

Very cool and beautiful!

Not quite sure mileage wise but aint no doubt in in the heart of Venice Beach

So from here on in I tacked back in to walk the shoreline because the tide was as far out of I've seen in some time, the rest of the shots were from about mile 17 on till 22. It's been a long time since I've seen this much sand graffiti and such. Because of the Rose Bowl thete is usually a large influx of tourists and it was a gorgeous day. A little later on there was a sun dog that was so bright it left a sheen in the wet sand almost as prominent as the sun leaves

Nice long walk Wade

 

[Wade]

Yes it is, although I could swear the miles were getting longer or my legs are getting shorter.

Uh oh. Someone's been trying to make a sand golem. You must have interrupted the ritual.

 

[Han]

Stunningly beautiful pictures wade, thank you for sharing your walk.

 

[Burnt State]

I agree - nothing like a fine ritual journey for the rest of us to share in. That's a great New Year's gift Wade.

The nice thing about whets I live is that from mid October to mid March the sun sets over the ocean which coincides when we actually get weather (clouds) you can't go wrong with a sunset over the water with clouds in the sky.
