Still Blogging

Faithful readers have probably noticed that my blog has gone slightly dark over the last week. Sometimes life gets in the way and I just don't find the time to do a post. The good news is that while I haven't been blogging, I have been having a good time and taking photos. There will be posts coming soon...both vintage and current. Just be patient. Here's a gorgeous sunrise that I shot a few weeks ago in Palm Springs.

A few shots of an abandoned church (I sure would love to shoot inside!):





And some early morning mid-century architecture:



I hope this tides you over for a bit while I get caught up here!

Walking to Runyon, Pt. 2

I made it to the top just in time, and was able to catch a few sunrise shots, including this HUUUUGE panorama view. Make sure you click on it to see it full-sized.



A few more:





If you know me, then you already know that I love photographing things that have gone to ruin, like this tennis court that has been taken over by the landscape.



HDR helps bring out the many colors visible at this time of day:



Another shot of the tennis court, which was supposedly used by Errol Flynn.



I wouldn't quite call it graffiti, but there are quite a few cool artistic creations that I noted near the Fuller Street entrance:



Words to live by:



You can see more of this artist's work on Instagram @calenblake.



The pink globs are a bit disturbing:



This trip, I discovered the Vista entrance gate to Runyon; always good to have alternatives!



More art/graffiti:



Homer Simpson and Runyon Canyon? Hmmmm…a strange combo to say the least.



I could have gone forward from the Vista Street entrance and done more hiking, but by this time, the peppered bacon at the Chateau was calling my name.
