Ferris Wheel On The Pier at Sunset Fine Art Photography Print
I went to the Santa Monica pier in California to take some sunset shots and I was lucky to be there just at the right time. Santa Monica Beach and up the coastline is one of my favorite areas to take photos. The amusement park on the pier and the Ferris wheel lights' reflection in the ocean and sand was spectacular. I was lucky to have the waves low that night because it let the beauty of the lights shine on the surf. The mixture of the sunset and the beautiful lights on the pier made an outstanding combination.
The Santa Monica pier Ferris wheel uses 160,000 energy-efficient LED (light-emitting diode) lights that'll "provide 75 percent greater energy savings than the previous incandescent bulbs...With the adaptation of its solar-power application, the Pacific Park wheel will continue to be the world's only solar-powered Ferris wheel.
Santa Monica Pier History
The current Santa Monica Pier is actually two adjoining piers. The long and narrow City-owned Municipal Pier was built in its present location around 1908, primarily to carry sewer pipes beyond the breakers, and had no amenities. The short and wide adjoining Pleasure Pier to the south was built by Charles I. D. Looff in 1916 to serve as an amusement park. The Pleasure Pier was then purchased by Walter Newcomb in 1943 and the name was changed to Newcomb Pier. The City acquired the Newcomb Pier in 1953.

Jerry Cowart - My journey with photography is an ongoing and ever-evolving process. I am challenged to slow down each and every day in this busy world and to stop and admire all the beauty by which I am surrounded.
What I have discovered is to enjoy the moment, to love the sound of the shutter as it goes off and be lost in the joy of that one perfect moment, and be able to capture it in my camera. For that one magic moment, and in the blink of an eye it will be gone, I see the perfection and beauty in a world that is not always kind and loving as I would want it to be.
My photography is about seeing and experiencing the beauty all around me and hoping it will move the viewer in a way they feel what I felt in that moment, in that once-in-a-lifetime moment that has now been caught in the beauty of a print for all to see.
It is my intention through my original fine art photography to share the beauty and perfection I see with those that view my work. I hope you enjoy my work and thank you for taking the time to view it. I invite you to look through my varied galleries of photographic prints and hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I was moved to take these photographs.
