My favorite photo is from a State Beach in California.  To me the image was really cool because of a couple things.  First, I have never seen the Pacific Ocean in “real life” before so that was a first for me.  It was also really cool because All the beached I’d ever been to before were at least somewhat populated.  This beach although was not, it was habited by lush greenery.  The picture is also from a family vacation to California. There’s also the cool feature of the clearer water in the backround.
