Venice beach CA. buzzing through the Walk Streets.

Apart from the exotic locals, there's a wealth of pampered gardens and still one or two of the non-cherried out, original shanty beach homes from the 20's and earlier.

Aquatic Park - a little bit of Zihuatanejo in San Francisco

Amazing it's taken me so long to do a photo dump of my favorite place - I simple can't overstate how much pleasure I've found in this little gem of a venue. There's something so solid and personal about the place and I feel some kind of ownership nowadays.

The personalities and stories of the regulars, built up over years are vibrant, the seals and sea lions are even in on the act but that's for another time.
