Santa Monica Workout by kwind

Santa Monica Workout

The space between Santa Monica and Venice Beach was filled with people exercising. There were large outdoor gyms set up with all kinds of simple equipment. This was a series of rings you were meant to travel between. It looked hard, but we did see several people make the trek. This was taken the morning we rented bikes. It was kind of foggy and gray out but soon brightened up. I'm looking towards the ocean. You can see a lifeguard hut in the distance.
Very cool shot

Ok Kim who was swinging to make the left hand ring move...you're going to tell me it was the bird?
April 8th, 2015  
@andysg My husband had just been on it. I cropped him out to make the rings look like they had gotten in that position on their own.

Beautifully framed Kim. Chopping off the front arch on the left was a great thought. Fav.
April 9th, 2015  
The bird really makes this shot.....along with the rings in succession and the chains, and also the framing of those arches. Funny, isn't it how the fog burns out by midday?
April 9th, 2015  
Very cool! Love the arches and swaying rings
April 9th, 2015

I like the stark lines in this.

Absolutely LOVE this! Beautiful and neat, FAV!
April 11th, 2015  
The way the rings seems to move in the wind makes it almost a scene from a movie for me. Very cool shot. And how empty is it!
