The Week Of Christmas

Well, here we are finally, the week that holds Christmas. But the calendar page for this week doesn't seem very Christmassy, does it? Well, what are you gonna do? This is a view of Manhattan Beach in LA, taken from the pier. I got lucky and caught that seagull in a decent spot. You can tell it's a bit smoggy as things sort of fade out of view a little too quickly, but that's LA for you. I think there is an oil refinery in this picture too, up north along the coast, along with the airport, so I guess the smog isn't a surprise at all.
