This photo shows humans and nature in harmony together. The tide is coming in as a surfer in the left hand corner makes his way down the beach. An oil rig in the background offsets the gorgeous California sunset with its rich colors and blending hues. One can see the delicate balance of life in Santa Barbara as the land, the sea, and mankind all coexist as one in this unique and prosperous environment.

I managed to capture the raw beauty of this sunset in Santa Barbara. It is hard to imagine how this view may change in the future because of the horrible damage we are causing on this planet. This amazing sight reminds us all to take care of our beaches and enjoy what beauty is left for us.

This photo for me symbolizes the peace and stability that the community of UCSB and IV deserves. No matter how long and exhausting the week, and in some cases the weekend, can be, its gratifying to just sit back and take in the sunset and surf. That's worth protecting.
