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.

--[unsnip]--

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 ;-)

The orange "car" is called the Corbin Sparrow.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 12:45 am (UTC)
I could not focus.

BTW, you understand the rolling hills on the background are all covered with the grapes, don't you?
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 12:47 am (UTC)
It's a car, no quotes needed! Indeed it is a Sparrow by Corbin Motors. A microcar, more specifically.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 12:48 am (UTC)
I think legally it's a motorcycle.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 12:48 am (UTC)
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?
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 12:49 am (UTC)
Zinfandel!
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 12:50 am (UTC)
Well, legally I am an alien, but do I look like one? (Oops...)
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 12:52 am (UTC)
Good stuff!
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:01 am (UTC)
Paso Robles and thereabouts.

Божья коровка замечательная:-)
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:02 am (UTC)
Thanks! When I get a chance...
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:22 am (UTC)
...get two!
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:25 am (UTC)
Там была ещё синяя птица, но она вышла не особенно синей. Зато коровки получились: и божья, и мясная.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:26 am (UTC)
Thanks for nostalgic moments.

Anyway, what California saw in your?
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:46 am (UTC)
Mnt.Diablo - эт прям рядом со мной. Там змеи и клещи...между прочим.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 05:13 am (UTC)
Да, еще там 7 unique species of plants that do not grow anywhere else in the world.

Я раздлядываю Ваш юзерпик. Это курица? Ну не человек же точно?
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 06:00 am (UTC)
California saw? I only know a Bowie knife, but Bowie is in Maryland.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 06:00 am (UTC)
Клещи ладно, а змеи кусачие или как?
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 06:01 am (UTC)
Ага, я там видел познавательный плакат на эту тему.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 07:41 am (UTC)
Угу...гремучки.Сейчас у них как раз свадьбы.Они и так глухие и слепые, а осенью на неё и наступить можно....но, не нужно.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 07:44 am (UTC)
Вы проницательны!
Ладно уж, что там притворяться...цыплёнок на пикче.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 08:56 am (UTC)
Очень понравились every cow.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 12:00 pm (UTC)
отчего же skipping faces?
Я, положим, больше здания снимать люблю (у меня и Лондон на картинках - underpopulated city) - а вы почему?

Последняя очень буколическая
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:09 pm (UTC)
Я когда увидел, понял, что надо такое снять. Подпись была готова раньше, чем фотография.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:10 pm (UTC)
Faces: privacy.

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:21 pm (UTC)
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.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:34 pm (UTC)
I am a very poor photographer.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 01:39 pm (UTC)
exactly: no point in suing you.
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 03:41 pm (UTC)
Калифорния - ням-ням. Красиво :)
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 11:53 pm (UTC)
I could not focus

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

Every cow has a silver lining.

The right words would be: "There are at least two cows having a silver lining". And at least two - non-having.
Friday, October 24th, 2008 05:42 am (UTC)
Correction: every other cow has a silver lining.

I noticed that too. They all had linings in the nature, but my photos are pale shadows etc, and two of the linings paled too much.
Friday, October 24th, 2008 05:44 am (UTC)
Sure, but the depth of field may suffer, and these fields are deep.

давай фейсы! особенно свое
