How many times can you photograph the exact same thing, over and over again?

I’ve asked myself that question too many times, in regards to a certain local monument, the historic, majestic pier that greets visitors to the small Los Angeles beach community I live in.

Manhattan Beach, California is anchored by the historic, 101-year-old Pier at land’s end.

It has become my favorite location for sunrises especially during winter when the sun rises right in front of me.
