This was the third time I encountered the “Santa Monica Daredevil,” as I call him. It had been a while, almost a year, since I last photographed him. As usual, as I was walking around Palisades Park, with my camera at hand, he just materialized in front of me and I just kept shooting without much thinking. At first, the sun was behind him, so I shot some silhouettes. As he passed by me, I made some shots with the golden light on him and the Santa Monica beach and pier below. Next time I should go after him and ask him what’s his deal… 🙂
I decided to publish a second post on this week’s theme, this time sharing some architectural shots which were taken looking up, for obvious reasons… 🙂
This was a challenging challenge. Not because I never look up, but rather because I look up a lot and have a gazillion shots that fit the bill. Maybe I’ll post several times…? 🙂
Marilyn and some peepers, in Palm Springs, California.
Now, *that* was unexpected… In Dijon, France.
Can’t stop loving this shot. Look how beautifully entangled these trees are…! Los Angeles, California.

For this week’s Thursday Doors, I am sharing a series of doors from Chicago’s Astor Street District, a posh historic area of the city. I love how the rather traditional doors are surrounded by beautiful planters with lovely flowers, which gives the houses a warm and inviting touch. Except for the Society of Architectural Historians, which has a pretty door but nothing about it says Welcome! 🙂

For this week’s Thursday Doors, I decided to share some funky doors from Venice Beach, a place where doors can lead you to all kinds of things. So, think before knocking and, definitely, knock before opening… 🙂

Jy is wat jy dink - nie wat jy dink jy is nie. Dit help soms om hardop te lag vir wat jy dink of dink jy is.
