[CA Roadtrip] As the fog settles and the sun sets…

…everything takes on a reddish hue…

Theme sequence

Tomorrow early morning, I shall be undergoing tonsilectomy and a few additional modifications to my nose and throat, as a part of Stanford Hospital and Sleep Clinic trying to deal with my sleep apnea.

As such, I do not really expect to be in a photography or posting mood for a while, and thus will be serving up photos from our recent road trip through Big Sur to LA from last weekend.

These photos will come later than the 7 days in my original rules — but hopefully I can make up for that with the contents of the photos.

TTFN.

I can be kitschy too!

On semi-specific request from my beloved wife.

Abandoned gas pumps

In Los Alamos, CA. We stopped in the Saloon right next to this for some drinks and some shuffleboard.

Mary with a rosary

One would imagine that Mary would do well in communicating with Jesus even without using a rosary, especially as she is often used as the conduit to reach him…

Not so, according to the Carmel Mission statue, that is thoughtfully equipped with a rosary, lest she lose count of her “Hail Self”s.

Don't look at me!!

Big sur in the evening fog

A somewhat different perspective from yesterday. As magically and fairy-tale-like as before.

Big sur in the evening fog

A vision from a fairy tale, these rolling hills creeping up under the fog blanket they're hiding under.
