On a recent visit to relatives along California's central coast, we stole a few hours to photograph wildlife in the Elkhorn Slough and some nearshore landscapes. While blue skies and warm temp's were a nice departure from Minnesota's frigid winter, these are not optimal lighting conditions for making landscapes.

As we were paddle boarding in pursuit of some eye-to-eye contact with marine mammals, I saw this rickety old pier in the distance and thought it might make for a fun nighttime subject. What follows will be a brief series of images of the Capitola Pier photographed long after sunset. Today's post is, "The Selfie."
