Weekly Photo Challenge: Adventure
I am not the adventurous type. I like to keep my feet on solid ground and usually don’t need a lot of thrills to enjoy myself. So the most adventurous thing I’ve done lately was to ride the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway from the floor of the Coachella Valley to close to the top of San Jacinto Peak, at 8,516 ft (2,596 m) above mean sea level. Thanks to my camera, and the thrill of shooting dozens of pictures, I didn’t think about the fact that we were suspended in the air and that something could go wrong. And I loved the experience!
For other and probably more exciting, adventures, go here.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Fray
In response to this week’s Photo Challenge, Fray, here’s something from the California ranches of the Ojai Valley.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside
For this week’s Photo Challenge, I invite you “inside” the 18-foot-diameter (5.5 m) Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which takes you up 8,500 ft. to the summit of Mt. San Jacinto, in Palm Springs, California. I was there just two days ago, and here’s proof of that.

That’s the final destination. You can see a tram just about to arrive there.
Another tram just ahead of us going down.

I loved the ride and of course took hundreds of photos on the way up and down, as well as at the top of the mountain. This is a great ride that I recommend to anyone who doesn’t have fear of heights. 🙂

Weekly Photo Challenge: Horizon
“Never have I found the limits of the photographic potential. Every horizon, upon being reached, reveals another beckoning in the distance. Always, I am on the threshold.”

A Word A Week Challenge: “Favourite”
It’s not easy picking favorites, be it photos, places, people, food, etc… But I have no problem picking my most favorite views, which I got to enjoy late afternoon this past Sunday, at a quieter than ever Venice beach.

Weekly Photo Challenge: The Hue of You
“Red is the great clarifier – bright and revealing. I can’t imagine becoming bored with red – it would be like becoming bored with the person you love.” (Diana Vreeland)
