Swami's: Stairway to (Surfing) Heaven

Swami's is a legendary surf beach in Encinitas, CA.  To reach the beach you head down the stairs featured in this image.  The golden orb and the name Swami's are a reference to the giant golden dome of the Self Realization Fellowship Temple next door.

Also in this collection is "Splish Splash Seagull" my original image of a Seagull getting ready for a quick rinse in the shallows during a low tide at Swami's.
