What I saw in California

[cema]

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

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?

отчего же skipping faces?
Я, положим, больше здания снимать люблю (у меня и Лондон на картинках - underpopulated city) - а вы почему?

Последняя очень буколическая

Faces: privacy.

Privacy? People in public places - legally - have no expectation of privacy. It's only if you take a shot within confines of their residence you should ask their permission.

I am a very poor photographer.

exactly: no point in suing you.
