The buzzing power lines of the South Bay
The buzzing power lines of the South Bay. When I first moved to the area, the fact that so many of the high voltage lines buzz constantly worried me. Now I’m used to it. Mostly. #power #powerlines #california #buzz
Manhattan Beach at Night

My first attempt to spot Comet Pan-Starrs on Monday evening didn’t work out, but I got to look back at the coast from the end of the pier, which was nice. You can see the Palos Verdes hills/peninsula in the background to the right.

Sunset Clouds Above Downtown LA (2/2) on Flickr.
Gorgeous day after a rainstorm. I kept checking to see whether the San Gabriel Mountains had snow, but the clouds never quite lifted. Even at sunset only the lower slopes were visible…but those clouds made for some spectacular sunset viewing.

Santiago Canyon in Green
Santiago Canyon after Rain, originally uploaded by Kelson.
Looking roughly southeast on the side of Santiago Canyon Road, somewhere between Irvine Lake and the turnoff for Silverado Canyon. The peaks of Saddleback, with a dusting of snow barely visible at larger sizes, are shrouded in clouds.
Taken between rainstorms last January.

I like open primaries in theory, but what CA just passed actually *reduces* choice on the final ballot: only the top 2 from the primary. How long until the first election where both candidates are the same party?
Gnarled Tree
Somewhere in Cuyamaca State Park (now Cuyamaca Rancho State Park) in the mountains east of San Diego, California. We camped at Paso Picacho, but I don’t remember whether this was near the campsite or spotted during a hike.
This was taken in April 2002, about a year and a half before a devastating fire destroyed large areas of the park.
(It was also about a year before I got my first digital camera, so this image was scanned from a print.)
