The sun had set. The skies looked painted and the silhouettes of trees and buildings seemed to enhance the late-evening-light in the sky.

The location is Seascape Beach Resort, Aptos. Β And because it lies on the coast of Monterey Bay, it is a great place to watch the sun set in the Pacific Ocean.
