One September Morn

It pays to  carry your camera wherever you go. Who knows what surprises you might get.

Strange it may be, my early morning commute brings me a show case of fog, low or high.

My bus drops me off right at my office doorstep.

Join us and the rest of the world sky watching!

Would you like to ride?

The Great Park Balloon is one of the largest tethered helium (not hot air) balloons and the first of its kind in the United States, located in Orange county, CA.  Standing 118 feet tall with a volume of 210,000 cubic feet, the Balloon can hold up to 30 passengers in its 1,810-pound  flying at an altitude up to 400 feet.  You can see the cable that is tethered on the ground.

Photos from last year, but I have not posted them yet.

Skywatch: Cityscapes

It was so extreeeemely hot this week, temperature reaching in three digits. So many thick clouds and great photo opportunities.  But I settled with my brown bag at lunch time.

This shot was taken from our office window on the 20th floor in downtown Los Angeles, a few minutes before going home.

On my way to the subway station, traffic was almost a stand still, you can still see the thick clouds yonder.  It would be 10 degrees warmer as I head for home.

Alabama Hills Arch Trail

There are hundreds of natural arches in Alabama Hills, in Lone Pine, California.

Long Weekend Birthday Trip

We drove around the whole area, even to the fault line and not a soul was there, except us. A little bit scared, we still snap some photos but did not get off our vehicle. Finally, when we saw a familiar road, Whitney Portal Road, ah…we were on tract. Time to head home. With this post, I end my Eastern Sierras Adventure, spring adventure that is.
And we are coming back, in the Fall, to visit other areas that we have not explored. I hope I had entertained you with my scenic drive.
