Redondo by Kevin Bergen
When my daughter needed an image for the bathroom in her new apartment in Utah, she asked for this pano of Redondo Beach (just south of Los Angeles), but the colors were to vivid for her taste and the particular decor of that room.
I tweaked the saturation and added three wonderful textures by Les Brumes.

Oh this is marvellous, Kevin. Looks vintage!! Well taken & processed. Bet your daughter is thrilled.
I must say that the picture she sent me of it hanging in her apartment looks pretty cool. I think I’m going to have it mounted on gatorboard as a “float” (a guy in my photography meetup does it himself) and hang it in my new office space. :)

Whoa neighbor!! I didn’t know what you were talking about when you mentioned, “Infinite Blues,” until I just read my BubbleMail saying I was featured. Very cool!! And thanks for being the first to congratulate me. :)

What a wonderful pano mate, the softened warm tones and textures give this a familiar, light and soft ambience, you can almost smell the salty air, your daughter will be stoked (that’s aussie for “very happy”) with this, and congrats on the "Infinite Blues feature
What a terrific comment, Jus!! I really appreciate that! (and I thought “stoked” was California surfer talk—LOL )
