Watt's Pic of the Week

I don't know when I've seen a picture with such intense colors. The zig-zagging of the breakwater makes such a balancedcomposition, and the tanker in the distance is the only sign that you are not on an island in the south seas.

The breakwater is 9,250 feet long and contains nearly three million tons of rock, brought over from Santa Catalina Island. (Pedro Chamber of Commerce) The initial western section of the breakwater, called the San Pedro Breakwater, was constructed between 1899 and 1911; the Middle and Long Beach breakwaters were completed over the next twenty-five years (Wikipedia).
