Saturday, the beach was packed! Filled with lots of visitors both local and foreign. Many of which had children running around checking out all the tide pools filled with miniature sea creatures so positioning and timing my photograph was critical. I was walking out onto this rock when I was stopped by a young couple; they asked me if I could take their photo with their camera phone. I happily obliged, took two shots for them: one vertical and one horizontal. I asked them to review them to make sure I captured what they wanted, happily they thanked me and shook my hand. They moved along and continued walking south on the beach taking pictures. I moved forward about 10 feet and captured this.

I decided to add some of my favorite non-origami photos I've taken. I took this photo at the Quail Botanical Gardens in San Diego.

Standing in the Plaza de Panama in Balboa Park in San Diego, California, and looking west.
The street to the far left is El Prado, the central avenue through the former grounds of the Panama-California Exposition of 1915-1917. The loggia (the tunnel-like structure) in lower center is the south side of the former Science & Education Building (demolished in 1964).
The structure to the right (with banners hanging from it) is the west wing of the San Diego Museum of Art. This wing was built in 1966.
The tower and dome in the distance are part of the California Building, which now houses the San Diego Museum of Man. (This museum took the exhibits in the old Science & Education Building and transferred them to the new museum.)
The California Building was designed by Bertram Goodhue (who designed or oversaw the design of the entire exposition), and is in a syncretic style that blends Gothic, Plateresque, Baroque, Churrigueresque, and Rococo design. Molded concrete ornaments in the shape of figures busts, birds, plants, shells, shields, and other decorations were designed and executed by the Piccirilli Brothers (Attilio, Furio, Thomas and Horatio).
The tower's basic structure is Spanish style, but its details and even color are far more Mexican in style. The dome is also a hodge-podge of styles, including the Byzantine Hagia Sophia and several Italian Renaissance churches.
