 Catching their motion in low light was challenging but I am quite happy with the results.

This is Crescent Bay at Laguna Beach, California.
It was taken facing opposite the sunset looking southeast on February 17, 2011.
This is one special little patch of sand along our Orange County Beaches.
You can see images while looking in other directions here and here.

SkyWatch Friday & Looking at the Sky on Friday / Flood Control Channel at the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California USA

Click on photo to enlarge!
This is a flood control channel that runs beside the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
It was a rainy day but I chose to take the drive to view the float decorating anyway.
People have to be rescued from these channels every year because it seems they don't know what the fences are for...smart, huh?
The sky had a little bit of attitude at 5:00 p.m.
No rain, PLEASE, for the Rose Parade on New Years Day!

Blue Monday, Midweek Blues, Mellow Yellow & That's My World Tuesday / Urban Lamp Sculpture @ Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles, California USA

These lamps are part of the 202 lamp posts that make up the Urban Lamp Sculpture at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
It's amazing to see day or night but, when lighted they are spectacular!
Children and adults like to run around chasing each other.

This little guy is running from his daddy!


There was quite a nice sky from this angle.
I wish I could have gotten on a roof for another perspective...but...

That's My World Tuesday / Rocks and Train Tracks on the High Desert

Please click on photos to enlarge to full screen!
I posted these same rocks as a reflection in the side view mirror of my car for the Weekend Reflections meme, last Friday.
This is the view when I drove down the dirt road and then walked to the side of the railroad tracks.
It was getting close to that "magic" hour of low light just before sunset.
I hoped a train would roll through, but, no luck this time.
This is an area on the high desert where the freight trains travel through the mountain passes to and from the Los Angeles area.

I liked how the light illuminated the  foreground.
 
...here, I was hoping a train didn't show up!
I was liking the lens flare I was getting at this angle.

A tunnel is barely visible down the tracks.
I really like being out here in the high desert hoping to hear the lonely sound of a train whistle coming down the tracks.

The Eiffel Tower at the Paris and Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada are shrouded by the elaborate water show at the Bellagio across the street.
  
  
  
  
  
 

 
The theme is the letter "E" for this week.
