Sunset on Mount Soledad Mountain
I visited Mount Soledad during my recent visit to San Diego.
Because this was the first time I was able to see and photograph an ocean sunset from such a great vantage point, I wanted to be able to share the experience with Travelin’ Local’s readers this Sunday morning. These photographs were taken during the 12 minutes leading up to the sun’s setting over La Jolla.
If you look closely, you can see the ocean at the lower right of the mountain, at the same time that the fog was rolling in as the sun was slowly setting over the horizon. Although there was unusually heavy cloud cover, this picture’s soft pastel colors and the clouds playfulness, create a peaceful ambiance of time and space.
When Travelin’ Local in San Diego, you’re able to enjoy the sunset from Mount Soledad, and witness first hand the ephemeral change of daytime to evening, while literally being on top of the world.
Lisa,
These are incredible sunset photos! In fact, I’m drawn very much into sunrises and sunsets. Something about them is very spiritual for me…. Thanks for sharing today.

@Lance, You’re so welcome. I’m drawn to the sunset and it’s not often I get the opportunity to shoot it, so I took full advantage. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Lisa. Brilliant pictures. Sunsets sure give cloud cover a whole new perspective don’t they?

@Davina, The mixture of clouds and fog really made my night. Thanks for stopping by, Davina.
