Wayfarers Chapel Interior

No matter how many times I visit this place, I've always enjoyed shooting the marvelous chapel. Its beauty is always so stunning any time of a sunny day, although it loses quite a bit of charm on a hazy, overcast, or rainy day.

Bear Gulch Cave

Having enjoyed some nice views along the Airline Highway for 90 minutes, we have finally arrived at Pinnacles National Park. It is a huge park with east and west entrances but they are not connected. This park offers many spots for the rock climbing lovers; as for the casual visitors, the Bear Gulch Cave and Balconies Cave are two most popular attractions.

Airline Highway

Driving from San Jose to Los Angeles has always been a boring and tiring task, as Interstate-5 generally offers no views whatsoever. Although Highway 101 resides by the ocean and has some great views, it takes some extra time to complete. This time, however, I have taken a partial new route via the Airline Highway (aka Highway 25) because it leads to the east side of Pinnacles National Park.

Bay Bridge & Treasure Island

Even though I have been to San Francisco many times, I had never visited the Ferry Building until this past weekend. The Ferry Building is a popular indoor marketplace where local vendors operate their businesses -- cheese, coffee, ice-cream, pork, olive oil, and organic food, etc.

Grand Canal Shoppes @ The Venetian

Shooting film in Las Vegas (at night, no less) was no doubt a tall order, but it was a fun experience.

Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam, a concrete arch-gravity dam on the Colorado River during the Great Depression, sits on the border between the states of Arizona and Nevada. Its generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California, but it is also a major tourist attraction (approximately 30 minutes from Las Vegas).

Cima

A 19-mile drive on Kelso Cima Road took me from Kelso to Cima, alongside the Union Pacific Railroad on the right and fields of joshua trees on the left. Cima is now a ghost town with few habitats and sports a convenient store for its travelers (which seems have closed permanently now).
