What I saw in California

[cema]

Not much. And the photos are of poor quality. And I am skipping faces.

--[snip]--

Every cow has a silver lining.


Bicycles! For rent.


I rented a car instead. Not this one, though!


Not this one either.


And I would not advertise my political convictions so openly...


Besides, the human skin would make a better canvas than the car body. (No faces.)


Well, I said no faces... It's not a face, it's a mug!


So is this, I guess.


Resting. Uh... see who is resting?


Above San Luis Obispo. We are above, SLO is below.


This looks more like the city. No cute birds.


Wine country!


California State Route 1 goes along the ocean side. Sometimes literally alongside. The ocean is Pacific, which means Quiet. It was pretty quiet.


Big Sur: the sun over the ocean. (Ignore Enjoy the jpeg artifacts.)


Big Sur: the moon over the land!


This is a place I could live in. Even if it is called Mount Diablo.


These are all pale shadows of what a good photographer could turn into something. And many have (especially with Big Sur). But I am just doing it for fun.

BTW, something seems to have happened to the photos after uploading. They appear darker on the fotki site. Is it a common experience?

The bird picture is great, and so is the seal, or whatever it is.
Though I regret that there aren't more winery pictures ;-)

I could not focus.

BTW, you understand the rolling hills on the background are all covered with the grapes, don't you?

I could not focus. - I have had this experience ;-)

the rolling hills on the background are all covered with the grapes - That's like in Germany, only the mountains there are much steeper.

Red or white?

I could not focus

That's why God gave us autofocus along with the grapes.

Sure, but the depth of field may suffer, and these fields are deep.
