A first-person perspective image captures a sunny day on a multi-use path along Santa Monica State Beach in Santa Monica, California, United States. The viewpoint is from a black Veo electric scooter, with the operator's tanned right hand, wearing a metallic-banded wristwatch, gripping the left handlebar. The scooter's central display shows a QR code, a "0 MPH" speed indicator, and green control levers. The concrete path, exhibiting wear and cracks, extends forward, marked by a pedestrian crosswalk with white stripes. Shadows of the scooter and operator are cast on the path. To the left, a vibrant umbrella-topped vendor cart is stationary, with one individual operating it and another seated nearby. Further down the path, two additional individuals are on electric scooters, and a person walks a small dog on a leash across the crosswalk. Several other pedestrians are visible in the distance along the path. Behind these, a low, rectangular light-colored building with multiple openings stands among three tall palm trees. Beyond the path and building, the sandy beach transitions to the Pacific Ocean, with a hazy horizon and distant mountains. To the right of the scooter, a raised concrete curb separates the path from a paved area or parking lot. This area contains a metal bike rack structure, a white recreational vehicle (RV), a white utility truck with an orange rear, a dark grey SUV, and a bicycle. Palm trees and streetlights line this side, extending into the distance. The sky is clear blue with sparse, wispy white clouds.
