More Cal

Hi again. Just 5 days until Christmas, and 11 until 2016! I'm not really that excited (as my use of exclamation points might imply); in fact, I wish time would go by a bit slower. Anyway, another stream of California pictures this time, mostly the evening, as I promised.

Here's a kind of soft picture taken on a quiet June evening. This is a local middle school, right in the middle of the suburbs. Typically the day is hot and the evenings get cool, which is something that doesn't happen in Taiwan where it's warm and sticky day AND night.


The picture below was taken in the spring, a cloudy day in May. The hill you can kind of see over there is yellow during the spring/summer months and green in the fall and winter. The grass changes seasonally which is pretty cool (especially in the winter), since this type of seasonal grass is visible all over this area.

I like this picture below because of the interesting range of colors, but as you can see there are some weird kind of lines on it. That's because I took the picture through a fly-screen on a window.


Here's a picture I took early in July this year. It's a little low quality since I zoomed in so much, but it's the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter which took place around mid-summer. Of course, it might as well be two random planes in the sky since the image resolution is so bad.

Another pretty sunset picture, also taken in May last year. I really love living in the suburbs as opposed to the city since there's a lot of fresh air and you can just bike to a high spot to watch the sunset. Of course, in this picture you can't really see the sun, but whatever.
That's it for now. Once more, I know most of my pictures of California are either of the sky or the hills, but I'm really trying to get some diversity in there too.
