Downtown fountain

A fountain in downtown Los Angeles at night.  On a hot summer evening this fountain in the hart of downtown provides some relief and some fun for the young and the young at hart, as well as muse for photographers.

Ferris Wheel on the Pacific

Ferris wheels and roller coster on the Santa Monica pier, both sitting over the Pacific Ocean.

Clifton's Cafeteria

Clifton's in downtown LA, in the process of being remodeled.  Downtown LA is being revitalized, it has yet to fully reach the old section of downtown, still leaving some great photo opportunities.

Rolls

Got to love a neighborhood where a Rolls is parked on the street.

Lost wagon

When you wander, and take the road less traveled, you many times find some unusual things, and wonder the story was that led to this place.  Like out in the desert, a lost wagon abandoned in the bushes.  

Topanga Flower

The great woods and glorious canyons in Topanga is beautiful.  But some times you have to look at the small things, and then you can find some very nice things.

Charge!!!

My four legged friend, Athena, faces off with a medal prehistoric pig, in the Anzo-Borrego desert.  Or she could be searching for smaller four legged friends to chase.

Morning Coffee

Sometimes you only have to go into the kitchen to find the amazing.  Poured myself a cup of coffee and found a great big smile greeting me.

Dragons in the desert

After an injury some 10 years ago, and artist found a calling.  He lives in Berrogo Valley, and has been creating creatures out of medal.  After a slow start his has found a tremendous outlet for his creativity.  This is a great turtle, not so fierce as I made him look trying to swallow the sun.

Ocean Flight

The thermals combine with the ocean breeze, to create a perfect environment for remote control gliders.  Sitting in front of the mighty pacific on a calm and glorious day, a man dreams of soaring.  The man and his dream all in one frame.

Santa Monica Sunset

In some places it is cold, the snow is falling, and many people are bundled up inside.  Yet in Santa Monica, Mother Nature is putting on a different show.  Almost as if she is taking from other places, and giving others extra beauty.
