Last weekend I wanted to hike Mount Lee so I could get some photos behind the Hollywood sign. On the way up there I parked near the Griffith Observatory. The observatory was pretty cool because it is located high on a hill which I’m sure gives some spectacular views of the night sky. Here are …

HOLLYWOODサイン
アカデミー賞授賞式前日に、有名な「HOLLYWOOD」のサインの裏側を見にハイキングして来ました。 3マイル(約5㎞)と表示してあって気軽な気持ちで登ったのに、結局10マイル(約16㎞)歩いてましたよぉ〜! 子供の足だと3時間も掛かって登頂!(途中迷ったし^^;しかも娘は靴を忘れてサンダル履き) お腹空いてボロボロだったけど、山頂は気持ち良くいい経験になりました♪ 登ってみたい方はここを参考に http://hollywoodsign.org HOLLLYWOOD SIGHN HIKE (ハリウッドサイン・ハイキングコース) 3204 Canyon Lake Dr Hollywood, CA 90068
Only in Israel
With Hanukkah coming up I thought it would be neat to show some things that you will only see in Israel. A perfect parking job. More Women fly F-16’s in Israel than drive cars in Saudi Arabia. Hasidic family crossing sign. Soldiers who bring their kids to work. Sudoku while swimming in the Dead Sea. …
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo Monument
Drove over to Point Loma in San Diego, California today to see the Cabrillo National Monument and take some photos to document my experience. Prior to going here I knew absolutely nothing about Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo and his monument. Now I know that Cabrillo, a navigator sailing under the flag of Spain, landed at San …

Elephant Seals Near San Simeon
As I drove up California Highway 1, I stopped off at a beach near San Simeon to check out some elephant seals. Being that I’ve never seen elephant seals before, I didn’t know what to expect. First off they are very dramatic. They are always making noise and getting into fights where it looks like …
Great Old West Black and White Photos
Here are some shots from the era of the Old West. (captions are below each photo) Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir in Yosemite. Two men most responsible for the Nation Parks we have in California. William Sydney Porter, aka O. Henry. Teller at First National Bank, Austin, 1891-1894. Man, look at that fancy woodwork done …
Funny Sign at the Sea Life Aquarium
I was at the Sea Life Aquarium and I saw this sign. The way the sign shows a finger pointing at a fish with a line through it and then the outside fish has a sad face, it looks like the sign is saying, “Don’t point at the fish. It hurts their self esteem.” Maybe …
Extremely sharp 100+ Year Old Pictures of the United States
These photos of life in the US at the beginning of the 20th century are truly a walk back in time. The first photo below looks the same today and many of you have entered it on the way to NY. The third photo shows how trolley cars were air conditioned in the summer. The …
