Into the White Light

In Pacific Palisades, there is an underground pedestrian tunnel so you don't have to defy death to cross Highway 1. That's where I snapped this photograph. The tunnel doesn't smell all that great but as you approach the end of it, the sun comes pouring through and then it just opens up onto the beach and the Pacific Ocean. It's actually quite impressive the first time you walk through it.

Just as we were about to approach the end of the tunnel, we saw a guy and a girl hanging out near the sand while smoking a questionable substance. The girl exhaled just in time to warn us about Pterodactyls loose on the beach. Apparently, she didn't get the memo that they are extinct. Or maybe she just scored some really good stuff.
