I was talking to an old friend of mine from Los Angeles the other day which brought back some photographic memories from living there 9 years ago. I shot all of these images, most of which were at least 10 years ago. First of two posts.

Great photos. As much as you love the outdoors and hiking, I can’t imagine you living in LA. I don’t even like driving through it.

Great photos! Love the different angles you’ve taken them from. Looks like you had a great time. Did the sailor and his girlfriend pose for you?

I had a lot of fun taking these. The sailor image is one of a statue but it really looks real!

I did wonder if it was a statue! It certainly had me fooled. It looks really good 😊

I would say it was about 40 feet tall

Goodness! I like the angle you shot it at as it makes it look lifesize 🙂

Exactly, the angle makes the difference. Plus the ship in the background
