It was a bit of a whirlwind trip in two weeks but we managed to see some of Los Angeles, Lake Tahoe and San Francisco as well as the Mojave desert around Las Vegas. The following images were all edited on my iPad using two great little apps called Snapseed and Instant with no Aperture, Lightroom or Photoshop involved .....
First stop was Taipei, Taiwan. I love this city - so untouristy and full of lovely friendly people ....
even if it was a bit wet!
Bundaberg steak in downtown Nankan!
next stop was Los Angeles - and Disneyland of course!
followed by a champagne breakfast on the Queen Mary at Long Beach
Next stop Vegas! Loud, brash, tacky and everyone having fun - I loved it.
bling
even the Maccas sign is all sparkly ...
A great class on lighting at the Sony stand (sorry Nikon!) at the WPPI trade show
Red Rock Canyon near Vegas (someone suggested that Mr Chow may be in the boot - sorry 'trunk' - I hope not!)
the Valley of Fire - spectacular!
Sunset in the Nevada desert
A total change of scene - Lake Tahoe
there's bears in dem 'dere woods .....
Northstar skifields at Tahoe on a sunny winter's day
farewell Lake Tahoe - wish we could have stayed a bit longer ...
and hello San Francisco!
California poppies at Fisherman's Wharf
Clam chowder in a sourdough roll .... yum!
the Golden Gate Bridge and a freezing daughter!
yes, it is a waxwork!
I hope the San Fran equivalent of Energex/Zesa know what they are doing!
from the train into San Francisco from San Mateo - a very different view of the city
blossoms in an industrial area - there's beauty everywhere
