#GoldenHour at Corral Creek Beach in Malibu. On this evening the sky was truly spectacular, the photo is unedited and doesn't have any filters, but standing there watching this was mesmerizing. It must be the way the Malibu coastline curves and the light hits it differently than other beaches along LA. For moments of serenity or romance head out to Malibu :)
