Fine "land yachts" cruise Ocean Avenue as six dancing nuns part a sea of traffic. Following a late afternoon shower, the setting sun's ombeauge rays luminates life in rosy color. Newlyweds promenade, Peacocks and Flamingos strut, and six nuns cancan across a crosswalk. A bearded, perhaps blind man fools with, or is fooled by, a teenage girl.
