We met near his home, at Moonlight Beach in the small California coastal town of Encinitas.
“Don’t forget: Beautiful sunsets need cloudy Skies...”
– Paulo Coelho –
Our meeting was scheduled for 6PM, but I arrived deliberately early so that I could get in a short surf session.
Boy, was it ever short! But short is far better than not, and the evening was lovely and the water warm - about 69 degrees Fahrenheit.
I caught one wave, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that one wave caught me. It turned out to be a quick drop, rail grab, and dump into a washing-machine-like spin cycle. Even so, spending fifteen minutes in the ocean made my day!
I met with the young man shortly after 6PM. He had visited my booth at Maker Faire San Diego and asked for some guidance. I'm always happy to encourage a young person's interest in technical matters.
We set up a couple of folding chairs where we could watch the waves and the sunset while we talked. As we conversed, I took this series of photos of the setting sun.
Sitting, discussing interesting topics, and watching the sun sink slowly in the west.
Only half a sun still visible now.
Distant clouds obscure the sun's crest.
A couple of large waves stretch shadows across their faces as the sun disappears below the horizon.
God's artistic handiwork, writ large upon the sky. A lone gull soars overhead, while spectators on the adjacent bluff enjoy the view.
Glorious pastel colors shade into brilliant golden highlights on clouds still brightly illuminated by the now hidden sun.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoying the sunset with me.

Thanks for your time and attention.
You are why I'm here on Steemit!
I have very eclectic interests and hope, over time, to write about them all.
