Peace and Quiet

Last Sunday, Dimage scheduled a Photowalk to begin at O'Leary's (Island Park) in Sarasota. I drove up, but could not find a place to park. The Marina Jack parking lot was packed and cars were circling, cutting each off, giving the finger, etc. A motorcycle cut in front of me, and in doing so hit a sandy area, and fell over. Both rider and crying passenger seemed basically OK. But is this nonsence what photography is about?

I never got out of the car, but drove straight home. At sunset, I went to Venice Beach, parked like a reasonable human being, and enjoyed 45 minutes of peace and beautiful scenery. Sunsets, wildlife, chasing birds - this is meaningful recreation. Got to keep this stuff in perspective.

It always comes back to the serenity of Venice where life is fun.
