This week, for LAPC, we are challenged with photos showcasing quiet hours: https://stupidityhole.com/2025/07/13/lens-artists-356-quiet-hours/. I recently took a walk around one of my favorite cliff-side beaches in Laguna Beach. You can see that it is early in the morning — gloomy. I planned it that way on purpose to avoid the crowds!

While it is difficult to get up early, it is definitely quieter and more peaceful at the beach at dawn.
I am an avid nature and ecology lover and enjoy sharing my photography in my blog writings. I will often be out early in the morning or late in the evening with my camera, trying to capture the peacefulness and beauty around me.
