You may now resume your normal, moronic style of driving. Especially you tourists.
San Francisco. South end of the Golden Gate Bridge.
We had been driving through the open plains of Ndutu at the tail end of our late afternoon game drive. Suddenly this Marsh Owl flew up from the ground near the vehicle. It had been well hidden in the tall grass we hadn’t known it was there. For a few minutes we parked and watched as it flew from spot to spot, hunting for small rodents. Marsh Owls are primarily crepuscular (active during twilight) or nocturnal. Occasionally they will hunt during daylight under overcast skies. We were very lucky to find this one so accommodating.

A typical french rural road with its tree lined verge. This was taken in the "sauterne" wine growing region near Bordeaux as we tried to find a way back north to avoid the motorway blockades by lorry drivers and protesters. It took us 14 hours to drive from Zaragoza to Tours. The only saving grace was we saw some lovely scenery and didn't have to pay the tolls as they had been taken over by the yellow jacketed tax protesters!
While driving to Southern California from the Central Valley, we left Interstate 15 and drove South on Highway 79. This road travels through the Cleveland National Forest and meets back up with Interstate 8 near the border. We came around a bend and saw these dinosaurs running up on this ridgeline. We both looked at each other and said we're stopping.
My friend recognized the artist's name, Ricardo Breceda, and told me some of his back story. This artist has created amazing metal sculptures that are featured in Anza Borrego which was one of our shooting locations. The works here are smaller and could be put in front of a home or building. The sea serpent sculpture in the desert is 350 feet long!
The pieces up on the ridge are pretty much to scale and are huge. I was amazed at how much detail he was able to put into the heads and faces of the sculptures. You can find Iron Man, Bumblebee, and the original Alien on the ridge.
If you take the drive out here, it costs $10.00 to enter which you can use towards buying a bigger piece of art or pick out a small yard art sculpture. We did both. I got a rock and metal tortoise for my backyard. Well worth a few minutes to explore and photograph.
After driving to the Lake District twice this weekend, I finally got some good conditions. Saturday was supposed to be wintry showers but was wintry sleet and blizzards, but Sunday was much better.

Driving at Gerdes
A shattered windshield baked in sun and heat takes on colorful hues that delighted my eye. Cracked glass create eye pathways and a feel of motion. Anchored by the steering wheel and sense of reality almost intrudes - almost. Light kissed and shape blessed, it keeps my eye intrigued.

This is still the Shafer Road, but at this point I was down a wash area, so during a rainstorm, this is not the place you would want to be.
Really enjoyed driving this road, and isn't hard, but some people don't like switchbacks, and it has them.
"Driving Forces:" Sometimes the forces of nature, or the universe, or whatever, seem to steer our path in different directions than what we initially intended. I took this photo over a year ago, during a road trip that was supposed to encompass parts of California, including Death Valley, Alabama Hills, and further up north to Mono Lake. A sudden, unexpected, late winter snowstorm that lasted a bit longer than even anticipated, ended up preventing me from having time to visit Mono Lake before making it back home in time to return to work. But I enjoyed the extra time spent in Alabama Hills, and have wanted to go back ever since. Here is an image of the last bit of paved road leading into the wild granite formations that dot the landscape of Alabama Hills, with Mt. Whitney in the background getting doused with snow, while the dark, ominous storm clouds loom overhead.
Driving the super jeeps in the Icelandic highlands in the middle of the winter, and in the middle of nowhere.
Driving Last Dollar Road in the San Juan Mountains. This road basically from the Telluride airport to the Dallas Divide.
Not hard drive, but wouldn't drive my car over it, but some people do . Must be a rental.

Driving home from South Shropshire last night, I followed a full-on electrical storm and encountered several flash floods. I knew a couple of freight were due to pass, so pulled off the A49 at Condover for a couple of shots.

Possibly one of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful (and utterly, at times, terrifying) day trips I've been on in a coach. The scenery was truly breathtaking. 04/10/2019
"The Grossglockner is, at 3,798 metres above the Adriatic, the highest mountain in Austria and the highest mountain in the Alps east of the Brenner Pass. It is part of the larger Glockner Group of the Hohe Tauern range, situated along the main ridge of the Central Eastern Alps and the Alpine divide."
