This photo was taken on the Cabrillo Beach Pier in San Pedro, California, USA.
The Moon rises in the east as the Sun sets in the west.
People on the pier were all looking in the same direction hardly paying attention to their fishing poles.

That's My World Tuesday, The Weekend in Black and White & Scenic Sunday / Fountains at the Cruise Ship Terminal, San Pedro, California USA

       Click on photo to enlarge!
This is an elaborate fountain of dancing waters at the Cruise Ship Terminal in San Pedro, California.
The pools are divided into sections each of which send water towards the dark sky.
People can walk between the sections if they want to get soaked.
It was a very hot night in San Pedro on this day and many children were running in all directions getting soaked by the spray and overflow of the pools.
It was very entertaining!

Click on photo to enlarge!
A colorful fountain graces Long Beach Marina, Long Beach, California USA.
I like to park my car in one of the lots along Shoreline Drive and then walk until I cannot walk anymore...
all the while gazing at sights like this...

SkyWatch Friday & In a Yellow House Photo Challenge / Trees

Click on photos to enlarge!
These beautifully illuminated palms are along the entrance to the Cruise Ship Terminal in San Pedro, California USA.
The dancing waters entertain many passers-by every 15 minutes after dark.
The same company that created the fountains at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada also created these about 2 1/2 years ago.


They are a beautiful sight!
