Time:  ~6:50 PM
Location:  Carlsbad State Beach, San Diego County, CA. 

200mm lens, Kodak Royal Gold 400, 5 min. exposure, guided.

As so often happens when photographing near the horizon, an airplane flew through the field of view of the lens during the exposure, leaving a dashed trail due to it's flashing lights.
