I captured this image walking along what is called the Sunset Cliffs of San Diego, California. Looking out from the tide pools in the foreground to the Pacific Ocean. It was late in the afternoon and the sun showed radiance as it played through the clouds. I like the blue sky nestled amongst the puffy clouds and the long reflection of the sun on the sea.

Capturing and reviewing images like this help me focus on the beauty around us. And helps take me away – if even for a few minutes – from the negativity that has become such a part of politics.
