Malibu's Best Shot: Gold Before the Rain

By The Malibu Times · Sun Nov 15 2026

Taken, Wednesday, October 21, at 8:05 a.m. from Point Dume Nature Preserve, just before the rain arrived. The sun broke through layers of cloud and poured a path of gold across a calm Pacific. As a Malibu artist, I chase this light every day; for one quiet moment, the ocean held it still.
