Not long after “a less than nice break-up”, with my girlfriend, Valentines Day came around.  I wanted to be as far away from couples and romance as I could get.  I decided to go out to Point San Vicente Lighthouse and take some pictures.  But when I got there, couples were all over the place with picnic baskets, and bottles of wine, and all were taking in a very beautiful late afternoon, that turned into a very spectacular sunset. 

As I was standing on the cliff over the ocean, totally nauseous, I was aware of the fact, that I had been here before, and photographed this shot before, and at that time, another photographer had gotten that same shot on the cover of the current phone book.  I was just about to pull my camera down off the tripod and put it away, when I heard in the distance a voice, yelling, “A sailboat is coming”.  I looked up and saw this kid about 11 years old, running as fast as he could towards me…Yelling “A sailboat is coming, a sailboat is coming”.  He continued to run right past me yelling “A sailboat is coming, a sailboat is coming.”  He never made eye contact with me, and he kept running right on out of my sight. 

I then looked up towards the point and saw this beautiful Sailboat! 

If it had not been for that kid, I surely would have missed this image.
