funny thing about them seagulls...they were within striking distance...a nice looking lady was out with her stroller and had stopped on the pier to throw some bits of bread...so the seagulls were uncomfortably nearby. me being a sucker had to take pictures.

Hey...your in my area. This is normal scenery for me

Looks like you found parking on Manhattan Ave. next to the pier (Manhattan Blvd). There a lots of good resturants in that area Did you notice all the plaques on floor of the pier? They are for all the winners of the Manhattan Open (VB tourney) Did you visit the Brewery...excellent food and beer!

there ARE good restaurants in the area...i was there mid-morning so none of them were really open...but i was tempted by a few for later endeavors. i got myself a sandwich from Manhattan Meats though. good stuff.

i'm really not that far from Manhattan Beach...i live literally down the street from Del Amo mall...

Those are some amazing shots, would you mind teaching LOTC how to take shots like that?

No, but seriously, you need to come out to our So Cali meets....could definitely use a good cameraman such as yourself.
