California Sundown

“September means a lot of things. If you are into marketing, it is a big month. Not only for back-to-school sales but also for planning ahead for Christmas. Of course this brings both developers, designers and copywriters into the grind. With all this work piling up on top of us we try to keep our cool and relax whenever we can. After all, taking appropriate breaks is very important for productivity. This calming photo was snapped during my trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles back in 2013. It was a hellish week, full of meetings and travel, sometimes 28 hours at a time. But being able to stop, take a breath of fresh air and appreciate the beauty that is around us kept me and my co-founders healthy, happy and sane. I hope it will do the same for you.” — Designed by Dmitri Tcherbadji²⁹⁶ from Canada.
