Travel theme: Peaceful

Submitting a few shots for the Ailsa’s Travel theme: Peaceful, found at http://wheresmybackpack.com/2013/06/07/travel-theme-peaceful/

First photo:  This is the quiet time before an Ironman Race began.  I love watching the sunrise, it is so peaceful.  And then BOOM! at this race a big cannon went off and the participants started their long day.

Second photo:  A calm area at the zoo, bamboo in a shaded area which is in front of a water display.  I always like stopping here for a few minutes.

Third photo:  Along the shore in Lincoln Park in West Seattle.  Always nice!

Fourth photo:  Looking south towards Torrey Pines in San Diego.  This is the lagoon and to the right, beyond the coast highway, is the ocean.
