In the midst of a fleeting, tranquil twilight, the name Pacific truly characterizes this immense and ancient body of water. The ocean is calm; the water almost still. The only movement is the gentle lapping of the waves against the weathered rocks. Jagged edges and crevices evidence years of erosion by the relentless sea. Shaped by the ever-restless wind and water, the rocks stand as testament to the battling forces of nature. But not on this evening. Tonight, all is peace. As the sun slips beyond the horizon it leaves behind a scene of sheer serenity: a sea of glass, a placid breeze, and a magenta ribbon of light unfurling across the indigo sky.
