National Cemetary at Loma Lighthouse

As we were leaving the park area through the naval base, I saw this large cemetery out the window.  It reminded me of Arlington, only not as big and with an ocean behind it.  I hopped out of the car and snapped a few pictures from the road.

The Pier

Oceanside, California

It's amazing what a different point of view can do for a photo.  The above shot was taken from a lower angle with a greater zoom.  It makes the pier look as though it is in the midst of raging waters.  The photo below, however, was taken from a wider angle with a side view of the waves.  In this photo, it appears as though the water is actually quite calm.  The truth lies somewhere in the middle: the waves were larger than they appear below and were actually crashing into the pier, but they were  definitely not raging.
