21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sunset on Half Moon Bay

I was on travel for work during the pandemic. We had gone sight seeing on one of our last days at work in California. We had been exploring Highway 1 along the Pacific Coast , and suddenly realized how late it was and none of us had eaten. During the pandemic, there weren’t many options. The only place we found open was the outdoor restaurant at the Ritz Carlton. So we blew our entire day per diem on dinner at this hotel as we marveled at this unique sunset.hone
