San Francisco, "The City by the Bay" covers only 47 square miles (121.4 km ) and has a population of less than 900 thousand, but it ranks as one of the greatest cities in the world. A popular tourist destination, it is known for its cool foggy summers, steep rolling hills, eclectic architecture and landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, the former Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, Fisherman's Wharf, and its Chinatown district.
It was founded in 1776 by colonists from Spain who were sent to establish religious missions in the New World. In 1821 after the Mexican War of Independence against Spain, it became a territory of Mexico until 1846 when it was ceded to the United States. The California Gold Rush of 1849 brought rapid growth, making it the largest city on the West Coast at the time. In 1906 most of the city was destroyed by an earthquake and fire, but it was quickly rebuilt. It was a major port of embarkation for service members during WWII.

Post-Covid we managed to get away on our planned road trip although we did have to cut it short from our original plan as we lost 4 days. We also had to do some mammoth drives in order to fit in as much of the rest of it as we could. Our first stop was the first town to be reached south of the Californian border with Oregon. This is the coastline of Crescent City, not necessarily the California that is more familiar but incredibly beautiful nonetheless
This is the tree that is just south of the town of Bishop, California.
Also a snowless Mt Tom and Mt Basin in the background. Still waiting for the snow.
The coastal region of The San Francisco Peninsula is home to many beautiful and historic cities and towns. Half Moon Bay is a quaint, small town by the Pacific Ocean, known as the pumpkin capital of the world. The Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival and the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off attract over 100,000 visitors.
Well we all know its not but I've been singing along to Roy Orbison as I so often do when a photo 'strikes a chord' as it were... when I am processing a raw file.
Padstow Harbour actually but looking so sunny last October between lockdowns.
Looking like a typical post card and I’m well aware of that but it just epitomises Cornwall for me re the light and colours so I make no apologies for putting this on. Neither a sunrise sunset or slow shutter...the four S’s that a landscape photographer strives for lol. Just that Cornish light that I happen to love ❤️
Thank you so much everyone for all your encouraging comments which I appreciate so much.
I am unable to reply or comment at the moment as I’m not feeling too well at present but I wish you all well....❤️

A rusted left over in the Gold Rush Country (on a private property) close to Tahoma.
Story of the picture:
I was jumping over the fence because no house or person were to be seen and started to take pictures of the rusted wreck. But just was able to take two pictures and then a huge dog came loud barking out of nowhere running to me and following me who was running as fast as possible to the fence. I managed to jump over without being hurt (with the camera in one hand!) not from the jump over the fence :-) nor from a bite of the huge dog who was close behind me. I was happy he couldn't jump over - ran to the waiting car - and off we were.
Info:
Walking a short trail in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California. It amazes me to see such a variety of flowers as one comes across in the desert . . . most always in the past they have been dried flowers. I have prepared this photograph as if I only had a second to look at the scene as I passed and only caught a glimpse. (IA)
This is what a legitimate out of control wildfire looks like. The Dixie Fire in northern California is now the largest wildfire in recorded California history. It has been burning for 5 weeks and has destroyed towns, villages, farms and ranches totaling almost 1 million acres.
We have voluntarily evacuated our home twice in the past week, and are currently awaiting instructions from the civil authorities. Haven't been able to post any pics for some time as we have packed and moved so many times, we're completely exhausted and just this evening was even able to plug in my computer in a safe place.
A friend recently gave us some tiny California poppy seedlings, so we were thrilled to see the first one pop out yesterday!
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
