Next to the first gas station south of CA-152 along I-5 in California’s central valley.
Here’s to maps+satellite views. I’ve identified this as S. Mercey Springs Rd, at the parking lot of Mercy Spring Shell. The private road runs up into the hills past this gate. Off to the right, it makes a sharp turn to cross the freeway and then head north to Los Banos as Highway 165.
The walkway between the Hilton Anaheim and the Anaheim Convention Center. The blocky wall to the right is a large area full of staircases at one end of the convention center.
Taken this past April, during Anaheim Comic Con. The convention center was also host to a much larger coffee convention.
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.
Blue and Gold Sunset, originally uploaded by Kelson.
Sunset at the beach in Dana Point, California, last December. If you look carefully at the horizon, you can see the silhouette of Catalina Island.
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.)
San Diego, looking down Pacific Highway toward Harbor from the Holiday Inn on the Bay. The tall blocky building at the end, with the peaked roofs, is the Manchester Grand Hyatt. The shorter one is the Embassy Suites. I believe the taller buildings are all high-rise condos.
This was taken last year during Comic-Con International. It seems appropriate that I’ve worked up to this point in my photoblogging project, since hotel rooms for this year’s con go on sale Thursday at 9:00.
Update: I’ve posted some tips on how to get a hotel for Comic-Con.
Santiago Canyon Layers, originally uploaded by Kelson.
Looking roughly north from Santiago Canyon Road, somewhere between Irvine Lake and Silverado Canyon. I think this was near the point where the road passes over the creek.
In the larger image size, you can see that the rock layers in the hill at the center are tilted diagonally.
Modjeska Grade View, originally uploaded by Kelson.
Taken last Saturday afternoon from the summit of Modjeska Grade Road.
Snowy Saddleback from Tustin Hills: January 2010, originally uploaded by Kelson.
Taken last Saturday from Lemon Heights in the foothills above Tustin, overlooking Peters Canyon.
