Courthouse GlowSometimes its nice to take a closer look at something beautiful. This is a gateway into the Santa Barbara Courthouse. The building as a whole is amazing, but as I am so fond of pointing out I really like the details. There is some incredible craftsmanship there that I don't think you would find very easily today. Perhaps the only thing that will make me stop sounding like my grandfather now (WHYYYY, IN MY DAY... !) is to point out that it was probably pretty rare to EVER find this kind of creativity!(Unless of course, it was actually one of my perfectionist German grandfathers doing it! :-D At least I come by it honestly!) architecture 49 | California 108 | courthouse 18 | door 5 | entrance 2 | entry 1 | evening 35 | gate 4 | gateway 1 | glow 9 | High Dynamic Range Image 15 | lamp 10 | lantern 7 | leaf 41 | light 49 | long exposure 9 | masonry 1 | Mediterranean architecture 21 | Santa Barbara 120 | Santa Barbara Courthouse 18 | Spanish-Mediterranean architecture 17 | stone 4 | stonecutting 1 | tree 47 | wall 3 |

Succulent on a Brick WallI have gotten in the habit of scanning most of my images. Rather than picking out my favorites. This is an image I found in a roll from a recent trip to Carmel that I had overlooked at first.I was talking to another Photographer that is also in the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show. He said he had made the "Switch" to digital. Now he goes out and takes hundreds of pictures at a time. Then, when he gets home he deletes all that he does not want. Now, I realize that everyone has their own way of doing things, that is just the way it is. But, I think I would miss out on a lot of cool images if I edited them so quickly and ruthlessly. I go to the other extreme, I keep way too much. And, one other thing... Why is it always a "SWITCH"? While I can imagine getting a high quality digital camera I can not imagine totally giving up my AE-1 and Fuji Velvia. |

Mission GateThis is a gate in a wall around La Purisima Mission in Lompoc California. You can see another of my images of this mission here and read more about the mission itself. I really like the archways and shapes of this Mission.California 108 | California Mission 27 | cross 5 | door 5 | gate 4 | La Purisima 5 | mission 32 | wall 3 |
