The Mirage-Ford M1 on the left is a very rare car, only three were made. It shares some lineage with the Ford GT on the right, and many chose to stick with the classic powder blue and orange colors for the new car. They are very different despite the common look, and while they weren’t side by side it was great to be able to see both on the same day.
I had to travel to Utah to do it, but I was able to find some fall colors!
The crazy lights on this scary pumpkin head are enough to make you jump as you walk by. This was taken last year at the No Mercy Cemetery in Mountain View, as the No Mercy is no more. The people that put it on moved away so there weren’t any decorations on the lawn this year, but the previous years made it worth doing one more tribute.
Follow the chain. Do not go right, do not go left. To the left and the right is down, along the chain is up. That is where you want to go.
The Millennium Bridge crosses the River Thames in London, and is an excellent contrast to the iconic St. Paul’s Cathedral in the background. Many people pass here everyday as their typical commute, but I had to stop and admire the new architecture in front of the old classics.
This tiny pipehorse was easy to find on the white bottom of the ocean, but hard to photograph! He didn’t move fast but was always slowly drifting. I got him to calm down for a few seconds to get this shot. You can see him trying to use his curled tail to try to hold on to anything he can find, and his red eyes looking around to see what is up.
I didn’t really discover water on the moon, but if there was the Salton Sea is what it would look like. The ground is dry and dusty, no one else is around and it is smelly. Is the moon smelly? Probably not, but I digress. I stopped the car only a few times in our drive through this area, hopped out for a quick photo of this interesting place and then was quick to get on our way.
Cathedrals are cool and all, but so are light trails from cars zooming by. The night was pretty quiet, but I still managed to get a few cars to drive by to light up the foreground.
This might not be what you think of during the summer, but this was a common scene when I was a kid. Corn lined the country roads as far as you could see. Later this week is the last day of summer, which brought back memories of days that looked a lot like this.
I didn’t come here to watch whales, they showed up just like I did. I saw one come out of the water near Pacifica, and thought that might be the only one I saw. After a few minutes I realized there were at least four very close to shore and easy to see. They kept popping up to catch fish, which attracted a ton of birds to pick up the scraps. I could figure out where the whales were going next just by watching the birds.
