SuperMarina's photos with the keyword: Southern California

Taking good landscape photos ought to be easy, at least if one lives in areas with the kind of landscapes common in the places I have lived; Norway, the US Pacific Northwest, Southern California, and many more. Well, it isn't that easy. At least not to me. When going hiking, I take my camera in case a bird or a flower should show up. The landscape photos I take do not in any manner or fashion whatsoever do justice to the actual landscape. Ansel Adams once said that "A good photograph is knowing where to stand." I guess it was easier in his days, before somebody put up signs with "STAY ON PATH!" all over?

Afternoon comes early in Los Angeles now. This is actually Santa Monica though. Some would say the difference is important. I don't.
