Californian Lighthouse — Photo 24 — Project 365

Californian Lighthouse — Photo 24 — Project 365
Further along the Pacific Coast Highway I came across a lighthouse, just before dusk. Perhaps it comes from my growing up far from the ocean, but I’ve always been fascinated with lighthouses and the lighthouse as a symbol in the way they stand as a sentinel and unmoved, regardless of the storm they brews around them.

A Drive in the Woods — Photo 23 — Project 365
The Pacific Coast Highway branches away from the edge of the ocean a little, particularly if you take a wrong turn! This is along CA-1, among the forests off the coast of California. But how can a picture capture the scene? It’s like trying to draw a dream…

Disconneted?

So it’s been two and a half weeks since I’ve had a steady internet connection. In an objective reality, that shouldn’t be that big of a deal, but in today’s fast-paced and always-on internet society, that timeframe seems to lie somewhere between an eternity and an epoch. I’ve been travelling (to Iceland and France) and so there’s been a lot to do and see, and so I haven’t felt a particular lack. I haven’t been travelling alone either, so I haven’t been lonely either.

Welcome to California? — Photo 21 — Project 365
I took a road trip and wanted a picture of the “Welcome to…” signs are the various state lines. As I drove into California, the road was under construction. The two were too funny together — “Welcome to California” and “Road Closed”!

Railways Spikes — Photo 20 — Project 365
There a railway that runs through town and some of the neatest things are just off the tracks. Here appear to be some repair supplies left at the side of the rails. I love the colour the few plants add to the scene.

The Provo Temple — Photo 19 — Project 365

The Provo Temple at night is beautiful when lit up at night, and even better from above. This was taken from Squaw Peak, just up Provo Canyon. This was also taken with my zoom lens - next time I’m taking my tripod to improve my odds of getting good night photos.

Plug Me In! — Photo 18 — Project 365

Plug Me In! — Photo 18 — Project 365

It’s amazing how much my telephoto lens lets me zoom in. The flip side is you have to hold VERY still to get good pictures because the zoom magnifies every little movement you make when holding the camera.

This is uncropped, of the plugin about 4 feet from where I was sitting. The orange-ish hue is a result of the low lighting.
