A Quick Trip ...
« on: August 01, 2015, 17:33:59 »
... to Solana Beach with the Fuji X100S:

Claire, the granddaughter. We started from home in La Mirada and travel south to Rancho Santa Margarita for my grandson's soccer match. Here is Claire watching the game.

#2

Next stop was breakfast in San Juan Capistrano. Walking around San Juan.

#3

Another from our San Juan walk.

Solana Beach has an art district which was the focus of the trip.

Thanks for Viewing,

Pleasure is ours.

I do not fully undestand what I see in #4 (bottom part) but it makes a nice pic. Last one is even more enigmatic (a mask, no "context").

#4 - The top half are the eyes of Marilyn Monroe, from a painting, the bottom half is a marble countertop the dark circles are shadows of glass vases. The mask came from South-East Asia ... that's all I know.

Solana Beach, btw, is just north of San Diego.


A carving from SE Asia.

Very naive hand carving. Great facial expression. Possibly a copy of some icon without hands?

Carving is correct I looked it up

Craving means strong desire

Looks like a nun to me.

All of this stuff was all for sale.






I don't know if the carvings were old or made to look old.

Another nice set from you Gary. So, who's the football fan? (or soccer as some silly people have decided to call it ;) )

Around here, we tend to call it futball (as opposed to football). (Yes, only silly people call it soccer.  ;) )

Football is a very violent sport and isn't appropriate for the younger kids (hell, it isn't appropriate for older kids also.) In the last 20 years or so, all the kids play futball when they're very young. Futball is finally beginning to take hold in the USA as a bonafide, top-tier sport. Our women are ahead of the men, (as always), but in another ten years or so ... the rest of the world will have to reckon with the US men's team as they now do with our women's team ... a real futball force that can never be taken lightly.

But I digress ... Luke, my grandson is the Striker for his team.  :)

I love this one best. The spookey atmosphere, the greenisch tint.
