    Oceanside Pier Sunset

    An unschedule stop, but for a sight that I would never forget. I probably enjoyed photographing the sunset more than the sunset itself. Oceanside Pier on the Pacific coast of Ca. 2015

  • Magic Kingdom California

    Magic Kingdom California

    The show was still going on, but many people had the apparently right idea to escape early and miss the crash. Fireworks at Disneyland, 2015

    What set of images from Disneyland would be competed without the castle? Anaheim, California, 2015

  • Classic Dodge

    Classic Dodge

    An old Dodge at the Wigwam Hotel on Route 66 near San Bernardino, 2015. I don't actually like the Dodge brand, but it is a "classic", so therefore, it does have a certain appeal when out looking for these shots.

  • Beat up Pontiac

    Beat up Pontiac

    A bashed up old Pontiac. I wonder what stories this car has to tell. At the Wigwam Hotel on Route 66 near San Bernardino, 2015

  • Hollywood Boulevard

    Hollywood Boulevard

    I didn't actually like Hollywood Boulevard, found it a bit tacky. A bit, you say!? Well, this was at the eastern end of the strip, away from all the glitz. Los Angeles, 2015.

    An all American brand, old a very old car at the Wigwam Hotel in San Bernardino. 2015.

  • Hotel del Coronado

    Hotel del Coronado

  • Pacific Beach Sunset

    Pacific Beach Sunset

    **The Oceanside Beach Pier appears to be a magnet for photographers at sunset, and during my brief and single visit there, I found out why. First time staring out at a Pacific sunset - great experience. Ca. 2015

  • Oceanside Pier

    Oceanside Pier

    Love the way the sunset reflection off the wet sands. Sunset at Oceanside was quite a thrill for photographers, and there were dozens of them out there that night. I can see why. Ca. 2015

  • Oceanside Silhouette

    Oceanside Silhouette

    No beach sunset page would be competed without a shot accentuating the reflections of the glistening sand on the water's edge, hence this age. Oceanside Pier, Southern California, 2015.

    Under the Pier

    Brilliant evening light, trying to outmuscle the shadows of the Oceanside Pier Sunset, Ca. 2015

  • Nevada / California Line

    Nevada / California Line

    Arrow straight American highway are part of the draw of this country, and when you get them in the desert, it is all the more special. This is the state line east of Death Valley, California, 2010

  • California Desert Highway

    Another arrow straight desert highway. This one is in eastern California just south of Death Valley. I love the way the desert expanse slowly graduates the base of the mountains. Fantastic place. 2010

    Lonely California Highway

    Who doesn't love an American road trip, with arrow straight roads like this. Eastern California, 2010

  • Zabriskie Highway

    Zabriskie Highway

    Another desert landscape with a rippling road surface - all down to the long lens though. Death Valley, California, 2010

  • Ripples in the Desert

    Ripples in the Desert

  • Last of the Light

    Last of the Light

  • Badwater Photo Opp

    Badwater Photo Opp

    I couldn't stay out in that heat very long, so I can sympathize with this couple if taking this shot got a little stressful. The is fully 275 feet below sea level. Inhospitable, to say the least. 2010

  • Badwater Road

    Badwater Road

    I just love the American highway, especially in the desert. This is Badwater Road, in California's Death Valley. I love the way the road disappears and gives way to the vast expense of the desert - a real sense of scale.
