Well back to the ol' routine...

Back in town... back into reality...
街に戻り、現実への帰郷・・・

LA here I come... back

Quick stay at Monterey, and off to Morro Bay. Well, not a long drive, just 110 miles driving on the coastline. But obviously, we took some detours taking photos and arrived at Morro Bay at 7pm.
モントレーではそれほど時間を過ごさなかったけど、いざ１１０マイル南のモロベイへ向かうと寄り道。写真を撮りながら南下して結局ついたのは夜の７時。

San Fransisco, Monterey, West Coast

We took a great amount of time wondering around downtown San Fransisco and took off to Monterey in the afternoon. But we took the coastline and made several stops at the beach for some more photos...
午前はサンフランシスコの街を散策。午後にはモントレーへ出発。海沿いを走り、ビーチがあれば止まり撮影。

good bye, Shasta.

Woke up, got some miracle shots, and left Mt. Shasta to San Fransisco... Such a sudden change in environment...
朝起き、奇跡のような写真を撮り、シャスタに別れを告げサンフランシスコへ。周りの環境が一変・・・

maybe last day was a lucky one...

Woke up, little rain, fog and not a single view of Shasta. So we wondered off to a lake and took some photos. Tomorrow is the last day!
朝起きて外を見れば雨と霧。シャスタは姿を現さず・・・結局、湖の周りを散策。明日はシャスタでの最終日。

shasta, one big mountain

Tried to drive around the mountain and failed because of the snowed road. But got some several locations for the great shot.
山を回りこもうとしたけど雪に阻まれ断念。でも、いくつかの撮影ロケーションを確保。後はタイミングを計るだけ。

shasta

wasn't a rough drive. Reno to Shasta, 230mile drive in the mountain.
意外と大変じゃあなかったけど。リノからシャスタ、２３０マイルの山道。

shot a photo in Reno, just to watch him cry...

Left Kingman and got to Reno. 550mile drive and it was some exiting day! Wanted to go to bathroom so bad on some road on the 95. We looked around this small town and saw a vintage bike displayed on the window. We stopped there and realized that it was closed. But as we got there, the store owner just came. He (Jeff) was staying in Vegas since Christmas and he just came back to open up the store!! Got to see some awesome bikes and got to hear some fun plans for that store and the town. I shall return... hopefully with my finished bike.

キングマンを離れ、リノまでの５５０マイルを爆走！途中、トイレに行きたくなり小さな町でトイレを探していたらヴィンテージバイクがショーウィンドーに・・・閉まってたがちょうどオーナーがやってきた！しかもベガスから帰ってきたとこ！すごいタイミング！バイクも拝めて店と街の話も聞けて楽しかった～
明日はついにマウント・シャスタへ！

so long... sedona

woke up early again for the sunrise. and wondered off to take some more photos until the afternoon.
Said good-bye and drove to Kingman, Arizona.

朝、日の出を撮るために朝起き。その後、森の中を散策、午後にはキングマンまで１５０マイルの運転。

waking up early for the sunrise..

is not so easy.

さむい。

discovering sedona

looking around, driving and wondering about. great learning experience.

周りを見て、運転そして考える。勉強になってます。

sedona

moved around several photo spots... and also wondered around for some.

写真のスポットをいくつかめぐりに、そして探しに。

LA to Sedona

left the town around 9am and headed to Sedona. Arrived around 6pm. Not so bad of a drive. Tired.

LAを朝九時に出発、いざ、セドナへ。到着は午後六時、悪くない距離でしたが・・・つかれった～

wonder land...

Liz's Antique Hardware was just like my fantasy store. Nothing but an antique furnitures' hardwares everywhere!!! So.... going to be my fav!

LAにあるアンティーク・ハードウェアーショップ。もう、蝶番、鍵、ドアノブの山！これから通い詰めることになりそうです。

happy... what...

nothing special, just two otamatones' dining on sashimi.

みりゃわかっしょ？
