Venice Beach, Los Angeles, California

I don’t know what the emergency was on Venice Beach that fall morning back in 2013, but these folks were busy sending out an SOS with help from the native vegetation.

Open door on public square

This piece of public art near the Walt Disney Concert Hall frames Los Angeles City Hall across the Grand Park. Saw this on my visit there in the autumn of 2013.

Out to lunch

From the archives: This ageless schoolboy enjoys his packed meal and a book in a little park-like space at O’Farrell and Fillmore streets in San Francisco.

Rocky shore

Another batch of photos from my trip to California last year … if for no other reason than to aid with a mental escape from the sudden onset of dreary weather around Calgary. Today: Scenes from lovely San Diego.

Beach on the bay

A year ago at this time, I was enjoying the sights of San Francisco for the first time in a long while. Today, with the weather finally turning more winter-like at home, here’s a wee bit of mental escape for everyone.

Hollywood & Vine

Reaching a little ways back into the vault … here’s a photo from my visit to Los Angeles last year, from the Hollywood/Vine Metro station. Love the culturally appropriate film-spool-ceiling-tiles.
