I’m probably sounding like a broken record at this point, but again, I can’t be sure where these photos were shot. I do feel comfortable in guessing that it was somewhere in California’s Sierra Nevada, and some of these locations look somewhat familiar to me. One image actually includes a highway marker identifying Alpine County; that area is traversed by […]
This week, a few more outdoor scenes from the Korea albums. Like the photos I shared a couple of weeks ago, these may have been shot somewhere in Monterey County, although they have no captions written on the back. The album’s owner was definitely into exploring off-road trails, hunting, and beautiful scenery!
Today’s batch of images, pulled from what I’ve been calling the Korean photo albums, were actually shot near California’s central coast. Located in the center of Monterey County, Fort Hunter Liggett is the largest US Army Reserve post. These photos were shot 16 August 1980, and thus far, they are the only pictures I’ve found with handwritten notes on the […]
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 […]
