Travels
Ship Sails
On a trip to San Diego last month, I had the opportunity to visit the Maritime Museum of San Diego. These are the sails of the Star of India. It is the world’s oldest active sailing ship. She began her life on the stocks at Ramsey Shipyard in the Isle of Man in 1863. Iron ships were experiments of sorts then, with most vessels still being built of wood. Within five months of laying her keel, the ship was launched into her element. She bore the name Euterpe, after the Greek muse of music and poetry.
Sepia – D-D Barn
I drive by this barn a few times a month when I head up to the Gold Country. I’ve taken photos of this barn a few times but in full color is was lacking something. Using the Sepia tone gave it the weathered look I was looking for.
Beach Day
Just another day at the beach for these young elephant seals. These photos were taken at Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery.
Rocky Shores
Just outside of Santa Cruz, CA the clear blue ocean crashing against these rocky shores.
Looking for Otters
High above this cove we were scanning the water for otters in the water. We spotted a few but I didn’t bring my zoom lens 😦 I used my 105mm and cropped the photo. You can see them bobbing in the water.
Northern California Hidden Cove
Took a drive down HWY 1 along the California Coast last week. Found a small pull out on the road and followed a trail to this hidden cove.
Snake River
Traveling through Twin Falls, Idaho last Fall. Pulled over to take a photo of the Snake River on our way to Crater of the Moon.
