USA. California. 1968. "The California Trip". San Diego Coastline.

 

I chose this picture because of the illusion it gives the viewer. We are looking at a photo of the Sandiego Coast line and the first thing we see is the cars on the road in the foreground. We see a horizonline along the middle of the picture where the road seems to end. What is a little confusing about the photo is that there is a scene of a far away beach where there should be a sky, it almost seems like two different pictures put together in one. Somewhere the road curves to the left and it can be seen that it is along side the ocean. The photo also shows some interesting shapes and lines alond the road, with shadows and the waves made by the ocean.
