sunset in Carlsbad

.
Sunsets here in Carlsbad are absolutely stunning. We see them from our house nightly but seen at the ocean's edge they are even more beautiful. Last night the kids and I needed some fresh air and a change of scenery so we jumped in the car and drove down to the beach to see the sunset but we missed it by a few minutes. So tonight we again jumped into the car but this time we made it in time to witness this beautiful sight -- such a simple and amazing event in nature. Cars stop and line Hwy 101 at sunset, photographers are every direction you look, and all the folks running and walking by slow a little to take it all in, too. The setting sun is always a magical, beautiful and peaceful event. I swear the ocean even calms a little when they meet. The whole world is quiet for that brief moment in time.
