This is an abstract black and white photo in landscape format of multiple bird houses mounted on the white wooden frame supporting an awning over a bungalow's porch. Santa Catalina, California (2015).

In the foreground and perhaps two metres from the camera, is a white wooden frame built in front of a bungalow supporting a fabric awning over the porch. The frame consist of four pairs of long parallel planks stretching away from the camera towards the house, that support a further pair located at the front and at right angles to the others. The fabric is stretched across the top, however, its become detached closer to the house on the right side where its hanging down loose. Located along the front pair of planks that are at right angles to the camera are ten small bird houses, all different and facing away from the house (facing the camera). There are at least two further bird house hanging from a support on the left side closer to the house. Above is a clear and cloudless sky rendered dark grey.

The location: Avalon, Santa Catalina, California.

πŸ“Florentin. Los Angeles, 2025.

The entrance to this place is so amusing and unexpected. It's literally a side entrance on the other side of a parking lot. They have young, well dressed (and hot) door man who has to flag down all the confused patrons so they find the entrance . Anyways, the spot itself is absolutely beautiful and has a rooftop that overlooks the city. The cocktails here are among the prettiest in the city and that saying a lot considering this is LA.

Sucker for a pretty cocktail. I no longer remember what exactly was in these but mine was the green one and it was mezcal based. On a yuge mezcal kick lately.

Topanga Canyon CA, May 2020, a long view of the valley from *slightly* up a hill, and what seems to me like an alright example of "working with the land", building cookie cutter communities around and between the trees, mountains & boulders, instead of demolishing & flattening everything.Woodchuck Basin, June 2020, central California foothills of the Sierra Nevada, a decently-sized lake surrounded by forest, reminiscent of Tahoe, with some distant hills with still just a trace of snow at the topStetson Canyon, southern CA, November 2020, late afternoon approaching sunset, a much more "bleached desert" energy, a view down into the valley from slightly above on a hill. The mountains are carved from seismic activity into very distinctive banded formations, populated mostly by grasses and scrub bushes, but as SOON as the elevation flattens, the densely packed geometry of the Simi Valley urban sprawl takes overFrazier Park CA, September 2021, a stretched view of some of the scrubland and hills, with late afternoon sun just barely out of shot to the right. The desert bushes, both tan and brown, are starting to cast long shadows, and while a few signs of human construction can be spotted here and there, the overall mood is "quiet".

So much for the promise of a storm, looks like it's Santa Ana wind weather through the week, with more chance of Santa Ana winds into next week. #SoCal #CAwx #VenturaCounty #wind

Just stumbled across this: a look at how True Home Builders is stepping up to support Southern California communities rebuilding after wildfires. Worth the read if resilience is your thing. truehomebuildersca.com/2025/10

RE: mastodon.palewi.re/@OldLAPhoto

This is a kind of winter SoCal scene that didn't used to be so rare - snow on the highest peaks of surrounding ranges with views of evergreen citrus trees in the valleys below.

Photos of such scenes were very popular postcards for Californians to send to relatives back East socked in with snow...

Snow was not that rare to see on the mountains in winter when I was a kid, but it's increasingly rare now.

On the Coast Starlight. The train took a very convoluted route up the mountains north of San Luis Obispo, so convoluted to make the slope gentle. #amtrak #sanluisobispo #socal #landscape #darktable
Foreground: some railroad ballast and fountain grass. The trestles we just passed passes over a river or road lined by trees, making it distinct from the arid landscape. In the distance are some hills with more trees on the top.A railroad track passes through an arid landscape. On the other side of the track is a prison, and then a pointed hill.The train, with two locomotives, climbs on a curve up the arid mountain.Fences and dirt roads cross a smooth semi-arid terrain, which ends when it meets more rugged mountains that have more trees.
