AN ANGRY SEA MENACED THE EDGE OF THE FUNKY LITTLE VILLAGE AT OCEAN BEACH TODAY. The pier had to be closed because monstrous waves were crashing over it. I rode my bicycle there thinking I'd get my photo-du-jour of a mad sea. Instead I was attracted to the simple cottages above the pier and found my picture there. Above the violent, noisy sea, the quiet dignity of the little house in the first picture seemed a parable.
