Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach at dusk, viewed from wet sand at low tide. The pier extends diagonally across the frame on dark wooden pilings, with small lights glowing along the deck and over the cottages. Reflections of the pier and lights stretch across the smooth, reflective sand as low waves move beneath a deep blue sky that fades to warm orange near the horizon.

Post-sunset glow. Crystal Pier, Pacific Beach, San Diego, California
