Ocean Front Cycling

 Cycling on a beach cruiser bike along the famous bike path was incredible cool. It was a continuous head turning between watching the beach and sea to the right or the lovely beach houses to the left.

 Another sunset on the second day, again this blue/orange/yellow sky. View from the terrace over the Redondo Pier houses and the fishing harbor.

Venice Beach Ocean Front Walk

The famous Venice Beach Ocean Front was exactly as described in the travel guides: colorful and a bit on the hippie side. From surf fashion and board stores to "medical" marijuana shops.. 

 ...to toe rings, botox, tattoos and piercings, everything a surfer needs to be happy was available.

Venice Beach Ocean Front Skate Park

 Came across this famous place in Venice Beach while cruising the beach bicycle trail to Santa Monica. It looks like fun, unfortunately I had no board at hand...and no board skills either.

 Was great watching the pros and the beginners enjoying the different zones of it in front of this beautiful background.

 As it happened many times while I was in L.A., someone was filming a movie nearby.

First day in L.A.

First drink..

 ...and first sunset. These amazing orange/yellow/blue colors of California, can't get enough of it.
