    Joshua Tree National Park

    My cousins from Chicago flew into San Diego and they always wanted to see Joshua Tree National Park, so we made a quick run up there this Presidents Day weekend. We were on a very compressed timeline, but we packed a lot into just under 24 hours, completing the Park Boulevard loop from the town […]

    The Eastern Sierra and Pacific Northwest

    It’s October and that means it was road trip time (I’m in a rut—this is the third year in a row that I’ve taken a road trip the first week of October). If you really want the gory details of the entire trip, you can read about them here. Suffice it to say, it was […]

  • Sunset on the Sunrise Highway II

    Sunset on the Sunrise Highway II

    I drove back out to the Sunrise Highway yesterday afternoon in plenty of time for me to search for possible locations for more photos, and it didn’t look all that promising because of the summer haze hanging over the mountains and desert. I stumbled across this view from a little pull-off beside the highway, and […]

    Sunset on the Sunrise Highway

    It’s been a challenging week on a whole host of different fronts, and I needed a dose of inner peace (brought to you by Mother Nature). On my way home from work, I could tell that the high clouds in the sky might make for a decent sunset tonight, so I loaded up the camera […]

  • Recon Trip to Big Bear Lake

    Recon Trip to Big Bear Lake

    First lesson learned: Don’t go to a major tourist destination on a holiday weekend if you expect to experience much of anything other than crowds and lack of parking. Up until yesterday, my only experience with the San Bernardino Mountains was either driving over the Cajon Pass on Interstate 15, or viewing them from a […]

    Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery

    As Memorial Day approaches, I thought it would be appropriate to remember its true meaning by visiting Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery yesterday. I arrived at the cemetery about an hour before sunset on a completely overcast and gray day, so I thought the black-and-white photos reflected the mood of both the day and the location. […]

    Exploring at Torrey Pines SNR

    Now that I have my new California State Parks annual pass, I’ve been putting it to good use by visiting a number of the Southern California beach state parks. Yesterday, it was back to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve north of La Jolla. With its expansive beach at the base of towering cliffs that are […]

    Carrizo Badlands

    The last week or so, we’ve been having a bit of rain here in San Diego and, as the most recent storm cleared this morning, there were some interesting cloud formations around the area. I thought it might be interesting to see if the clouds made it over the mountains into the Anza-Borrego Desert. They […]

    Red Rock Canyon State Recreation Area

    I went on another of my infamous Sunday afternoon drives through the country today—a mere 520 miles in eight hours and forty-five minutes (driving time; 12 hours total time). Red Rock Canyon State Recreation Area (near Cantil, California, not the Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas, Nevada) caught my attention on my last trip […]

    San Diego Skyline

    San Diego has invested heavily in updating its waterfront Embarcadero and the surrounding area. Here are a few nighttime images of the skyline and the architecturally significant San Diego County Administration Building.
