Since we had to backtrack some 30 miles from the — for us, impassable — crossing of the Amargosa River in Death Valley, our timing to drive home had somehow changed a little bit. :) Approaching from the other side and the paved road, we just so happened to be near the river crossing in the late afternoon, and decided to stop and take a look at our “foe”, the muddy, flowing river.
Long Exposure
This tag is added on image posts where the effect of a long exposure is visible – silky water, blurred details, that sort of thing.
Montaña de Oro Seascapes
Visually cooling down with impressions from a hike at Montaña de Oro State Park on California’s Central Coast, along the Bluff Trail and tide pools, on an August afternoon with a cool marine layer.
Asilomar
Finally – something new for the photoblog! Two long exposure seascapes from Asilomar State Beach, photographed at the end of August during our Central Coast trip. And a bit of story too, of course.
Rising Tide at Hospital Point
Last Saturday, I went to La Jolla with my photo club, for dawn photos at the tide pools of Hospital Point — and the conditions were quite challenging!
Weight of Summer, Premonition
Last Friday, a storm system brought lightning, thunder and a little bit of rain to San Diego again. This isn’t entirely unusual, but this year’s amount of summer storms that actually reach the coastal areas of the county is higher than what I’ve experienced in the past.
Point Buchon Stacks
Well, I’ve got to continue somewhere and somehow, with photos from our Central Coast trip… but to be quite honest, I feel a little bit overwhelmed, paralyzed almost, by the sheer amount of photos that I came home with! So, so many new impressions.
