When I discovered this stack of photo albums at the flea market in Roseville, it took only a quick peek inside to tell me the original owner had a few things in common with the Big Guy. Not only did he enjoy spending time in the outdoors, but his car collection looked strikingly familiar to me! From the black mid […]
There are always plenty of great things to see along the road as we drive north along the narrow and winding Highway 1 through Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Even places I’ve seen hundreds of times are always slowly evolving, like the construction project in Sonoma County near Bodega Bay. I shared photos of the same stretch three months ago when […]
I don’t have any profound theme going on today — just a small and completely random selection of photos I’ve shot over the past seven years. Today they’re helping remind me how blessed I’ve been, able to visit these different spots and to have these memories to hold onto.
I can’t really be certain where most of the photos in this album were shot, but trying to figure it out has led me to some interesting places! Using the translator in the Google Lens app I noticed the name Namsan Clinic in the image above; Mt. Namsan and Namsan Park are located in the south portion of Seoul. I […]
If you have a need for speed you’ll really get a kick out of this episode of California’s Gold, originally aired in 1996. Nostalgia and hot rods reigned as they briefly returned to Rogers Dry Lake Bed for this weekend event. I had often heard this area referred to as Muroc but never knew the origin of the name. In […]
Back in May of this year I discovered a big stack of matching photo albums while browsing at Denio’s flea market in Roseville. I wasn’t able to learn how they came to be there; and while the photos themselves have little or no background information in the way of captions or notes, as I progress through studying the images I’m […]
If you clicked through to the link on last Wednesday’s post featuring small Hollywood cars, you may have noticed that the written description included a paragraph that didn’t match up with the segment. I wasn’t quite sure what that was all about, but I was intrigued by the content — so I tracked down this episode of Huell’s show, Visiting, […]
This week I have the last set of amateur photographs from the 1940s Washington D.C. class trip. The rest of the album is filled with professionally shot souvenir photos; they’re very interesting, although several of them are quite tiny. I’ll most likely be sharing them at a future date. I also wanted to note that the last names of the […]
Huell introduces this episode of California’s Gold from May 2001 with a quick look at one of the many exhibits in the Petersen Automobile Museum in Los Angeles — but then he’s off to Pasadena to discover a collection of beautiful small cars from the 1930s. If you’re like me, you’ve probably seen these classic beauties in old films but […]
