Happy New Year to everyone a couple of days (or weeks, or months) early! Huell did some episodes of his show Visiting that focused on the New Year celebrations of a few different Southern California cultural communities; these don’t always fall on January 1, but at least the Serbian New Year is observed in the month of January! This episode […]
It seems all too obvious to me that such an ancient artifact as the Agate Bridge should be protected and cherished — and that includes NOT standing or walking on it! But I suppose we all need to learn so that we can do better in the future. You may notice the slab of concrete that’s now supporting the petrified […]
I hope everyone is having a great holiday — and this isn’t really goodbye to Korea; according to my research, nachunge bwayo is a casual “See you later!” I still have plenty of images from this pile of photo albums to share, and some of the more scenic ones were most likely shot in Korea. But next week I’ll be […]
In August I made my first ever visit to the eastern spur of the Point Reyes headland; unfortunately, because of the cold weather and a lack of time, I didn’t hike the trail to Chimney Rock, but as I noted yesterday I did check out (from afar) the elephant seals on the beach and, on the other end of the […]
In late August I made a quick overnight trip to Point Reyes; and while I didn’t have enough time to seriously explore everything I hoped to see I did get a look at the headlands and spend awhile at the Chimney Rock Trailhead. Even though it wasn’t the prime season for elephant seal watching — that happens between December and […]
Normally around Christmas I like to feature one of Huell’s holiday-oriented episodes. This year it seems I’ve run through all of the most obvious Christmas-related segments, so I’ve settled for one that originally aired on December 24, 2004. (If you’d prefer to see an episode about the holiday season, you can find one of my favorites by clicking here.) I […]
Some portions of Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park are definitely reminiscent of the terrain in the Grand Canyon, almost 200 miles to the northwest. Like my post earlier this month, these images show the Blue Mesa, which lies south of Interstate 40 within the Painted Desert. I shot all these photos in the same area, roughly halfway along the 28-mile […]
We had parked alongside Highway 1 not too far south of Fort Bragg in Mendocino County; while I wandered the windy bluff top, the Big Guy was getting down to the serious business of casting out into the surf, looking for fish. It was just across the road from where he was fishing that I eventually discovered part of the […]
This Classic episode of California’s Gold first aired back in 1998. This wasn’t Huell’s only visit to the area; two years later he returned to explore Under Lake Arrowhead in an episode which I previously featured in 2018. The Arrowhead Resort reached the height of fame and glamour many decades ago, and since then has been somewhat in decline. After […]
