Pacific Coast Highway
Another in a series of captures from the California coast 2 weekends ago. If i remember correctly we’d stopped an hour or two before in SLO at at a fantastic barbecue place we stumbled upon right down the road from the house of junk. Returning to San Francisco from the coast it’s such a foreign…

Down along Route 1 – Just North of Big Sur
I’m not done with my Joshua Tree stuff yet, i just had to change subjects for a day or so so i can catch up with my scanning. On the way back up the coast on Sunday we stopped for a few minutes at an overlook to Bixby Bridge right as the sun was setting…

The Queen Mary 2 Coming into San Francisco Bay
As we approached the bay on what was Super-Bowl Sunday (February 4, 2007) it was never more clear how much a professional sports town San Francisco wasn’t. The ship was due to enter the bay at about the same time as kickoff of the national football demonstration and there were at least 10,000 people standing…
