A Walk Among the Dead

The week before Easter I made a visit to a local cemetery of which I have heard about but never occasioned to visit before. It is known for having several well known personages buried upon its grounds including the infamous Black Dahlia whose grave site is not revealed to the public for fear of attracting vandals. It was quite an extensive and elaborate cemetery with some rather beautiful and unique mausoleums.

Here are among my favorite photos from the trip:

 

 

 

 

 

Half Moon Bay Birthday Trip

This is a bit belated but I have been busy and haven’t got around to uploading my photos to my computer in a while. On my birthday (I will not tell you the exact date) but it is in February I took a trip up to the coast. I favor the Northern Coast line over the Southern Coat line because I love the rocky cliff bluffs, and the often overcast weather, gray skies, high wings, occasional wind. Yes these for me are my ideal beach days. Though it was actually unusually sunny on this trip, it was still enjoyable. And I got a few good photos.

 

 

 

 

Stop to Smell the Flowers

The photo is a little out of focus, but I found this pose irresistible.

 

Jungle Cat

I was trying to get some photos of my two cats playing together, but of course they did not want to cooperate. Whenever I get the camera, they suddenly will stop playing with each other, but in the process of trying to get some good photos of them I took this picture, and I think it is really cool how it came out.

 

In A Dark Wood

In the hotel I was staying at there was this weird little area I called the dark forest, because it felt like wanting into a dark forest. There was dim lighting, and dark forest like wallpaper and this white porcelain deer’s head on the wall. I took a few pictures of it and it reminded me of Will Graham from Hannibal, so I enhanced the dark surrealistic vision of the image.

 

Water Wonders

In the area near the Hotel we were staying at in DC there was this really cool water park. It had these elaborate water fountains, and waterfalls. There was this cool wall that had water streaming down the sides of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s A Brick House

I spent some time in Washington DC earlier this month, and one of the things which I most enjoyed about it was the buildings. I love old brick, and stone buildings, and they had a lot of really cool looking ones there. I also loved how unique and different each of the buildings where from each other, not like the cookie cutter style which has become more common today.

These are a few of my favorite photos of the buildings.

 

 

 

Mother Death

  

No Sanctuary

This is the church that was used in the filming of the movie “The Birds.” I thought it would be fitting to give it the appearance of an old photograph.
