Some type of humming bird is all I know.

Thanks. This was one of those spur of the moment shots. I was driving home and thought the light looked pretty good and decided to give it a shot.

Ahhh, beautiful photos Nosedive. Where were they taken? Looks like NH or VT.

A photo from the USC game this past Saturday (just for Nosedive). Quality isn't great, cause it was an iPhone shot, but I liked downtown LA being visible in the upper left:

1. Colorado. Do not insult Colorado by thinking Colorado is a small New England state. Srsly, thanks!

2. I hate you and your condoms.

OK. I will instead insult Colorado by knowing it is a terrible football team.

I hate you and your buffalo(es).

In the great CA vs CO debate, there is only one clear winner. NM. We have Hatch Chile.


Now back to the pictures....



I call this one, "Cooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal Train." Or maybe, "Coaltrain. Roscoe P. Coaltrain."

Took this photo from the same highway as the previous photos but a bit further north:

Disclaimer: I don't like dressing up dogs for Halloween. But you pick your battles....

Anyway, apparently Ben agrees with me. He was all smiles at his Halloween photo session...







...except when he had his costume on...



...then back to smiles after:

Finally have internet at my new apartment. Couple shots celebrating my new neighborhood:

Fog rolling in over San Pedro and the Port of LA (no, that's not my house....unfortunately):

Say, I can see my place from there.

Great shots, and I'm jealous, San Pedro seems like a great little community. I'm actually working on a project there as we speak.

Thanks! And yeah, I'm loving San Pedro so far. The eastern part is a bit ghetto (down by Gaffey and Pacific), but the central and western parts are pretty nice. It feels both busier (during the day) and quieter (at night) than Redondo.

Heh, yeah, down by the water and the docks...I know what you mean. Our project is up on 22nd street by an elementary school.

View from the Niagara Power Project Power Vista:

A large ship arriving at the Port of LA last night:

Couple more from last night.

The same ship passing the breakwater:



Looking over eastern San Pedro, some of the shipping cranes, and the Vincent Thomas bridge:

More from San Pedro:

I've spent many many hours up there playing basketball at the Korean friendship thingy that was also in The Usual Suspects.



The wind can be a pain while playing hoops. Also used to visit the Sealion rescue place and play around the cannons.

Some new photos:

Well, since I can't fall asleep yet because I'm back on the east coast for a week, I'll post some more photos.

There's a neighborhood in Torrance, CA that does major Christmas lights/decorations every year. Took photos there last year and this year. Here are some from this past Friday evening:







Always good to get some aviation in there:







Handheld at 0.5 seconds was a nice challenge:







Merry Christmas everyone.

A couple of shots of Horseshoe Falls (Canadian side of Niagara Falls):





And one of the American Falls:

Silly Vik didn't bring his tripod into Boston this evening. Dammit.

So here are a couple photos taken at 1 second exposure and ISO3200. Balanced the camera on the railing above the river, and tried not to shiver.

Hey, that rhymes.

No noise reduction or anything, cause I don't have Photoshop or anything here. And yeah, it was freaking cold.





I'll post some better-edited ones when I'm back in CA.
