Photograph (engineering notebook photoprint) looking south from end of ocean walk at 34th Street, Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles County. This followed high tides (6.8 feet and 6.6 feet), accompanied by heavy ground swells and breakers which did considerable damage to piers and ocean front property between Hermosa Beach and Santa Monica along the route of the proposed "Ocean Front Walk" location of State Route 163. The high tide on 25 January occurred at 8:52 A.M. and measured 6.6 feet. This photograph was taken with the ebb tide at about 10:45 A.M. Also visible are: houses, utility poles and lines, porches, wooden railings, pedestrians, pier in distance, ocean. Legible signs include: "Danger, keep off! Anyone trespassing, do so at their own risk"....
