An "Inspiring" Sunrise: Malibu Photo Of The Week

MALIBU, CA – This photo was sent to us by Maureen Haldeman, a local photographer in Malibu. She took the photo this morning, as she was catching the sunrise from Latigo Beach. Haldeman's photographed many "dramatic" sunrises, but this one felt "particularly inspiring."

If you'd like to see more of Haldeman's photography, her "Crystals and Waves" exhibit is right around the corner. On Saturday, August 26 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Sorenity Rocks Crystal Gallery, Haldeman will be showing photographs that have never been exhibited before, surrounded by the crystals on display.

The Sorenity Rocks Crystal Gallery is located at 3939 Cross Creek Road, Gallery c110, Malibu, California 90265 .

Got a photo share? It seems everyone’s a photographer these days. Cell phones capture amazing images, and true DSLR cameras render detail that almost looks surreal. So we got to thinking, why not share the pictures we receive, and see elsewhere, with you?

Have you got the next incredible photo? If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch, we’d love to feature it on Patch. We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty of your city, and that show off your unique talents.

So, bring 'em on. No selfies. Not here.

Send your photos to autumn.johnson@patch.com and we’ll post the feature on an occasional basis. Or — post it for free in our bulletin board section on the site, and we’ll feature it up top. Be sure to also include when and where the shot was taken and any other details about what was going on.
