Made this one on the way to the office. This was the only rainy day during the week in southern California. I really like the outcome of this snapshot. Taken on Barranca Parkway in Irvine, CA.
It never rains in southern California

Orange
Still at Inspiration Point in Corona del Mar. Getting an impression why it is called Orange County…
Stare
I don’t know what you think how I find the spots where I do photographs like this one. Pure luck! Okay, not at all. In most cases I discover the whole area on Google Earth and use Streetview as well. The picture shown here was done on the second last day of my trip and I had a long to-do-list after leaving the office. So I grabbed summer clothing and camera in the morning, changed it on leaving the office and made a big round trip through Orange County and its malls to spend some money. When done with shopping I tried to get to the coast before sunset. On arrival in Newport Beach I took a random road to the beach and what a luck – I directly ended on a place called “Inspiration Point”. I think I have seen why it is called this way.

Around the Corner
Always hunting for the sun! When arriving somewhere, first thing is turning towards the sun. (as you can see in my previous posts – I’m addicted to back light photos).
Newport Beach
As alway on my business trips: leave the office, check the light conditions and drive to a spot already discovered on Google. This time I drove to Newport and threw my stuff on the beach and watched the scene relaxing in the sun and figuring out where to catch some nice shots. This is what I got when I was walking around in the streets near the beach.
Laguna Beach
The Pacific Ocean seen from the top of the Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park near Laguna Beach, CA. I found this spot in Google Earth and decided to visit it right after work. Unfortunately the weather conditions were not perfect and there was this cloud layer on the ocean. Anyway, a nice place to be with a fantastic view over the pacific coast line.
Crystal Cove Beach
Similar to the previously posted photo this one was taken on the same day. But this was some hours earlier. The view is in southern direction and in the far end the Highway No. 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) is visible. I came down this way and the view when coming out of Laguna Beach is stunning. Only a road, the cliffs and the endless Ocean. I really like the orange coloured beach and the reflection of the cliffs in the wide area of wet sand.
