Last night's sunset photography was at the pier at Port Hueneme. Lots of great color.

The NPHS fantastic soccer run is over - now back to some sunset photography. Last Sunday I visited the Arlington West Memorial next to the Santa Monica Pier. Yes, its origins are ani-war, but Arlington West Memoria'sl main purpose is to remember the soldiers and their sacrifices for us. Being next to the Santa Monica Pier, Arlington West is a good reminder that while we work and play, other Americans are overseas fighting for us. Don't forget them.

The Newbury Park High School Varsity Soccer season ended Tuesday in a tough 1-2 loss to Santa Monica High School. After falling behind 0-1 at half time, NPHS dominated the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half and tied the score 1-1. Included in the comeback was a save on a Santa Monica PK by NPHS goalie Troy Williams that left Santa Monica players and fans shaking their heads. To Santa Monica's credit, they came back and scored the winning goal.

I overheard several Santa Monica HS fans and school officals saying this was the toughest game of the year for the 26-0 team that is rated #2 nationally. Frankly I was much more impressed by Santa Margarita last Saturday in the CIF Division 1 playoff finals. Santa Monica won the Division 4 finals, but acted susprised by how tough a CIF Division 1 team plays. Too bad Santa Margarita is playing in the CIF Regionals Division 2. Santa Monica was given a gitt. Santa Margarita has a much better defense and would beat Santa Monica.
