This past weekend I enjoyed a marvelous getaway at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa. At about a half hour before dusk I set out to capture photos of the famous “pink moment” a phenomenon that occurs when the setting sun casts a brilliant shade of pink for several minutes on the nearby Topatopa Bluffs. Alas, due to inclement weather the pink moment was elusive but my visit to the inn was fabulous just the same. For more splendid panoramic views, click on the images below.
