Although the iconic notion of a lighthouse is a lonely structure standing straight and tall on the rocks, dashed by the raging sea, lighthouses actually come in many shapes and sizes. Most US lighthouses these days are either completely automated or else they’ve been done away with altogether. I feel quite lucky I’ve been able to visit a few of […]
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.
He didn’t have to look too hard to find all sorts of examples of life when Huell visited Death Valley National Park for the first time. This Classic episode of California’s Gold originally aired back in June 1995. I’ve previously featured an hour-long episode entitled “Springtime in Death Valley,” but it was filmed ten years later, in the spring of […]
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 […]
Back in May of this year I shared one or two images of our visit to this area of the Mendocino coast, but I still haven’t had a chance to seriously explore Jughandle State Reserve proper. On this cloudless November afternoon we parked alongside the highway about 5 miles south of Fort Bragg and hiked past the gate to the […]
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 […]
Today I’m concluding the collection I started on Tuesday showing photos shot as I traveled to and from San Francisco on Amtrak and around the city on public transportation. They include images from my outing to the Lyon Street Steps. The first part of my trip was by cable car; I normally avoid riding the cable cars because they’re usually […]
In this California’s Gold Classic episode from early 1995 Huell takes a trip out to the Death Valley Ranch — better known as Scotty’s Castle. Even though I visited Death Valley with my family as a young child, I don’t have any memories of seeing this amazing mansion. I do have a memory, from a few years later, of spending […]
You may have noticed by now that I really enjoy shooting photos while traveling — as in, literally going down the road (or track, as the case may be). Sometimes my favorites of these shots aren’t especially good photography, but I don’t mind too much because they manage to capture some memorable or transient detail that otherwise might have been […]
