Even if you are not aficionado of art, you do not have to be a cultural sophisticate to appreciate the depth and the elastic scope of this serene, silhouetted scene captured late in the day at sui generis Venice Beach by photographer Susan M. Ottalini.

A staggering, virtually unmatchable weave of compelling colors for your enjoyment.

Pretend that you were visiting a soundless museum. Here, for your insightfulness, is a magnificent frozen moment emphasizing the vastness and the riveting beauty of the above while artfully dwarfing the human element of daily life on the planet.

Finally, if this instructive scene is too arcane for your tastes, you are encouraged to amuse yourself by counting the number of persons beachside at twilight. We agreed there are 34. If you are a liberal, however, you may calculate how many men and how many women, how many gays, how many straights, and how many races are represented. Then you may question why.
