Sunset Cliffs

People gather along Sunset Cliffs in San Diego every clear evening to watch the sun set and soak in the energy of the ocean as it crashes into the coastal bluffs.

As beautiful as this place is, it can be quite dangerous as well. The bluffs are actively eroding under the constant assault by the Pacific Ocean. Bluffs have collapsed and people have been injured and killed by ignoring the posted warnings.

Nonetheless, the spectacle of a coastal sunset is too hard for many, including this photographer, to resist.
