Today's capture was from the Palisades Bluffs. Growing up in the area, I spent many hours staring out at the ocean and contemplating whatever the topic du jour happened to be. Behind me were many piles of rubble and green gardens steps away from ash and a standing chimney. Below the bluffs there is, or was, a trailer park. There was a nonstop cacophony of jackhammers, the sound of trucks backing up, and the rumble of debris falling into a dump truck. More thoughts to contemplate.
