I took a walk down to the beach around the time the sun was going down and grabbed a few shots on my walk. I started at Rose and made my way up to the Santa Monica Pier. The sky was looking pretty cool, but it was starting to get kinda chilly, so it seems like the beach season is coming to a close.
Lots of screaming carnival riders for a place that is sort of lacking the thrills. Definitely a popular spot with the tourists though.
Checked out the Sonic Generations of Skate competition on Venice Beach this weekend. Overcast skies and a relatively small turn out for a free event featuring Tony Hawk and Steve Caballero. The crowd that was there was definitely unique.
Great 90 degree day in October. Pretty much amazing weather for a fall trip to New England and I was glad I got to get out and enjoy it (and get a mild sunburn).
The pumpkin trail at Roger Williams Park and Zoo would be what I consider a “very Rhode Island” experience. It was slightly uncomfortable walking through the exhibit as you are constantly bumped into by heavily accented people and their kids and you likewise have to deal with everyone taking photos with their flash on (which sort of defeats the purpose of the photo because the pumpkins don’t look all that good in full light). I had a difficult time taking shots myself because I had no idea what settings would get the best results. Luckily I had a few salvageable shots, and I was really happy that the Bieber pumpkin made it into the good enough pile and wasn’t crazy blurry.
