PIER REFLECTIONS

The San Clemente Pier stretching out across the horizon, its long, wooden planks disappearing into the distance. Above, the sky is alive with dramatic, swirling clouds that take on the unmistakable shape of a giant bird, wings outstretched as if soaring above the scene. The low tide has left behind a smooth, wet sand that perfectly mirrors the towering pier and the magnificent cloud formation, creating a stunning, symmetrical reflection. The contrast between the dark pier and the lighter sky, along with the rich details in the sand, adds an almost surreal quality to the image. The dynamic clouds and the peaceful stillness of the mirrored landscape combine to evoke a sense of awe, making the photo feel both bold and serene at once.
