Greetings from Corona del Mar Beach aka "Big Corona" in Newport Beach, California, USA!
Photo was taken on Monday, July 30, 2007.
Off and on for the past 10 years or so, I have played beach volleyball. I even took classes to learn some of the skills and strategy to play competitively - not that I compete. I did once and didn't do too well. Enough said about that. I first started playing with a group that met every Monday during with summer months, then took the classes and started to play on weekends too year round.
At least once a summer after we're done playing, we have a barbecue and bonfire at the beach. It's done potluck-style - everyone brings something: hot dogs and buns, marshmallows & chocolate & graham crackers for smores, chips, salad, etc. When the cooking is done, we build up the fire and kick back until the beach closes.
Here's a shot of our fire. The city set fire rings on a section of the beach, which is adjacent to a cliff. From up top, you get a great view of all the bonfires - as many as 20 or so when all the fire rings are used - which happens practically every night during the summer. For all the Australians and other people in the southern hemisphere reading this email, it's summer in the north hemisphere right now.
