Jolla California Photography From The Air
“Everyone knows that La Jolla is one of the
most beautiful sites in the southern California area, but what most people
do not see is how much more beautiful it is when viewed from above. From
this aerial view we can really appreciate the assimilation into nature
of a built environment and community." ...Rafael Rivera
In this aerial
photo of La Jolla, an area of great natural beauty with a mixture
of geology, I capture the most compelling highlights of the area:
The natural and man-made features; the oceanfront where residents
and visitors experience the alternating rugged and sandy coastline;
and the docile seal congregations.
Knowing this
to be a popular area for surfing, I wanted to show the surfers as
part of the foreground. In this aerial view of Windansea, aproximately
80 photos and little pieces of photos are pieced together to make
this a very detailed 300 megapixel picture. Through my completely
distinct aerial photographic perspective, I want you to revisit
the fact that the world we are tightly packed into is beautiful
and vast. And yet, we might also find ourselves approaching the
image with sharp eyes, looking for ourselves on a walk or paddling
out.
