When I first visited Santa Monica Pier, I felt like I was on a movie set. The pier, the sky, and the clouds reflected in the ocean and it created a Alice in Wonderland moment; had a fallen in the rabbit hole and entered another world? I wondered when I was going to run into the Mad Hatter, which was actually possible on the pier.
Unique characters surrounded me and created their own reality.
The cotton candy from the pier filled the sky at sunset, illuminating the path back to the pier.
Unlike Alice, I didn’t need to find my way back home; I was already there. This unbelievable world is at my doorstep.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love Santa Monica, since I grew up in So. Cal, I still have a few friends their. But then I moved to So. Oregon to get away from the smog & traffic! It’s so beautiful in Oregon. We are in Arizona right now while my hubby finish’s meat-cutter school, then back to So. Oregon Coast in late fall. I’m loving your blog! I have panic with agoraphobia, so I don’t travel much anymore 😦 I’m a New Fan! *Catherine* 🙂

By the way, I love everything you wrote! Alice In Wonderland is probably the best way to describe those images! I love seeing surreal photos, and the first and second pier photo really are very surreal!
