Baja California is not in California, it’s in Mexico. The Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) is not in California, it’s in Mexico. But whatever it’s called, Baja Mexico is a place of much diversity, great landscapes and a vast desert environment surrounded by immense bodies of water. https://www.google.com/maps/@27.9998847,-113.5,6z
It’s about a 1,000 mile (1,609 Kilometers) drive from San Diego to the southern tip of Baja at Cabo San Lucas. I had the opportunity a few years ago to drive that stretch and to capture the essence of the land, its people and customs. The food was spicy, inexpensive and the military checkpoints were ubiquitous. The photos below are a good representation of the land in much of Baja with its endless mountain ridges and succulent desert vegetation. These photos and more are available as prints or downloadable files at http://dawn2dawnphotography.com/
And then there are the sunrises and sunsets. This was when I decided to name my website Dawn2Dawn Photography.
And when you get hungry, you head to town. They serve really good Mexican food down here!
I’ve sailed up and down Baja Calif 4 times, and have spent so many hours staring at the landscape (when I could see it) and looking at these pictures gives me so much insight. I loved every single on of them!
What a coincidence. I just came home from spending a week outside of a small town on the Pacific Ocean side of Baja about 90 minutes north of Cabo, now my new, most favourite place. I’ll go back and explore some more and your photos are just the temptation I need. Every dog I encountered – and there were many – seemed to be the colour of sand, just like that chihuahua.
