CA 183

California State Route 183.  I’ve traveled this road many, many times. In the rainy season the water puddles up between the road and the railroad tracks. Add the off kilter telephone poles, a semi-truck heading south and a cloudy sky and it has some visual appeal.  This was the first time I actually made a special trip to CA 183 for photographs. It was a bit more difficult to photograph than it looked zooming by at 60 MPH.  I spent a fair bit of time looking, waiting for the rain to ease up and photographing at different puddles.  Call this a sketch

Wharf Triptych

I was out early with the intention of photographing people fishing. Sometimes there's nobody fishing.

Winter Storm

I was on Main Beach the other day during a brief break in the rain. A few surfers were out in the water, beach combers were picking out the choice pieces of drift wood, a runner or two along the water's edge and this guy on his little bike chasing seagulls.

Beach Bike

Or maybe the beach is the place you go for a quiet bike ride.

Three Men Fishing

People that fish will tell you it's the fishing that's therapeutic. Catching fish is a bonus, Some times I feel that way about photography.
