Venice Beach

One of my favorite things to do is people watch and Venice Beach is a perfect place to do just that.  Last Sunday Donna and I took our cameras to Venice to relax, people watch, and grab a few shots while there.  It was a beautiful day and this in itself is a welcomed change to be outside in the sunshine rather than sitting behind a desk in the accounting department all week.  I was able to take a few shots while strolling the oceanfront walk.  Here are a few of them.

The next few pictures are of graffiti that I saw on the side of a building. I like the colors that the artist used in the paintings so I took some pictures to post.

We were walking along and I heard this lone voice above the crowd saying, “I need gas money to get back to Africa.” This made me literally laugh out loud when I heard this. I looked around and this is the who I heard saying these words. I wonder exactly how he was proposing to use this “gas money” to get back to Africa!!!

This street sign captured my attention as well. If you have ever driven in California, you know that EVERY street here could be called “Speedway”!

I had a wonderful time in Venice and look forward to going back once again. I have always loved going to the beach, taking pictures, people watching, good company and when you combine all of them in one day, WOW, that’s a perfect day! Thanks, Donna, for such a great time! :-D

Venice Beach

A few weekends ago I had the opportunity to go to Venice Beach and experience the culture there.  I really had a great day that day and I took a few pictures that I wanted to share.  I wasn’t there except for a few hours and I quickly found that there was too much too absorb in such a short amount of time.  The culture was as diverse as the street vendors, to the artists, to the musicians that were involved in a huge jam session, This was worth the short drive to the coast and I definitely want to go back when I can experience a little more of the culture at Venice Beach.
