OB Pier

Ocean pier

Calm sea

Summer sun

Fishing poles

Seagulls squawk

Pigeons coo

Japanese, Vietnamese, Spanish, English

Children laughing

Reels whizzing

Smell of fish, smoke, and sea salt

Sound of skateboards, and bare feet slapping

Bird wings rustle

Rush of the tide on pilings

Splash of young fools jumping into the sea.
