A Pathway/hiking trail in Placerita Canyon.
Placerita Canyon was occupied by the Tataviam Native American people and was part included in the 1842 Mexican land grant was issued for Rancho San Francisco. The park preserves the site of the first documented discovery of gold in California, in 1842, in wild onion roots pulled from under the "Oak of the Golden Dream".
The canyon is home to several movie ranches, all historic and active now: the Monogram Movie Ranch—Melody Ranch and the Disney—Golden Oak Ranch.

The USS Constitution was built from the lumber of 2,000 live oak trees, which were cut and milled near St. Simons, Georgia. The Constitution saw action against the British during the war of 1812, receiving the nickname "Old Ironsides" due to the strength of its live oak construction. (trolleytours.com, nps.gov)

This photo was taken out of whim. I walked passed the pathway and just decided to take a picture.
Pathway across the suspension bridge. I found this image really plain so I've attempted to add interest - not sure I've achieved it or not ?
I don't normally photograph the works of art when I visit museums and I rarely engage with them beyond looking at them briefly and walking away. I have never engaged with an artwork as long or intensely as I have with John Safer's sculpture, Pathway, at the entrance to the Dayton Art Institute. Pathway is an immense stainless steel cork-screw of a sculpture that pays tribute to Dayton aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright. The day was beautiful and the reflections of the sky, the grass and the buildings in the sculpture were entrancing. I didn't have a wide-angle lens, so had to "settle" for photographing "slices" of the piece. In processing the photos, I was struck by the abstract shapes that linked earth and sky in the piece. Here are three of my "slices" of Mr. Safer's sculpture. It feels a bit as if he purposely designed it with an open invitation for us to collaborate with him.
Time to go through and clear out any old photos that I haven't done anything with... I feel like my old India photos never end. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to go back soon.
For a (chilly) evening stroll, I headed out to the artificial island of Odaiba (お台場) on Tokyo Bay, taking the private Yurikamome Line (新交通ゆりかもめ) over the Rainbow Bridge.
This pathway leads away from the Odaiba Seaside Park Station (お台場海浜公園駅), across the Bayside Expressway (湾岸線) notorious for street races, toward an entertainment complex that includes shopping as well as a gigantic Toyota showroom. I'll actually spend an hour at the Toyota showroom to see what kinds of strange cars Toyota sells on its home turf.
Life's pathway often has twists and turns.
This photo was taken by a Kiev 60 medium format film camera and МС BEГA-26B 2.8/120mm lens using Kodak Portra 160 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
Calgary has many hundreds of Km's of pathways and cycle ways city crews make a great job of keeping them clear for all to enjoy.
This was one of the best patches of wildflowers I found while at Rainier, and at one of the higher elevations too (right around the treeline). Due to the elevation and proximity to the mountain, this particular spot was pretty windy compared to the rest of the park. I had to wait about 30 minutes after sunrise for the sun to clear a bank of clouds to the east then about another 15 minutes for the wind to calm down before I took a photo. It stayed calm for about a minute and allowed me to take this shot as well as another one!
