a walk to town/part one

~click to enlarge them~


on the way down our hill, there is a long row of very old, twisted cypress trees.


what a clear, bright day it was, and i walked through the cemetery. note the sparkling pacific ocean in the background.



one of several quaint old places. nobody lives here now, but a horse lives in back of the house. people drop off hay for it regularly. you can see part of the old water tower and the barn as well.




a moss-covered (lichen?) monument in the cemetery. i like the orange hue.



another very old place that intrigues us. also vacant.


they aren't in the proper order... i will put up the rest of them tomorrow.
the walk to town is about a mile and a half, and this day was made for walking about. i really liked bringing the camera along.

i liked that little house with the horse in back. vacant, you say? what do you think the rent might be?

When it's cold and gray here, an almost icy fog still hanging in the air at 2 in the afternoon, it's nice to come here and see places that are green and lush! Thank you for the walk!

hey, what taza sez, how much is the rent?!?!? How much to buy?!?!? I'll fix 'em up!

It is so beautiful up there, and the landscape is so distinct. You take wonderful photographs.
