Cross

091713

On a desolate stretch of a narrow highway, north of San Francisco, the whiteness of the cross against the summer-brown grasses caught my attention. The cross had not been there long – the flag was still crisp, the fresh flowers hadn’t started fading, and the grass was still bent from recent footsteps.

The day after my visit was the one-month anniversary of the day M. Tate lost his/her life on the road by the sea.

I was taking a walk. I was taking a walk, with my camera. It was late afternoon, and look at what the sun did to this window, the tape residue, and the blinds!

I was glad I had the camera.

On the top level of a parking garage along South Beverly Drive, I spotted this bit of graffiti. And a security camera. Or, perhaps more accurately, a “security” camera.

Just hours after the United States Supreme Court announced its historic rulings on gay marriage, a man shares his happiness with a Hare Krishna band. In context, it made a lot of sense.

On the other hand, not being adequately informed for a trip might mean that you end up in some place (let’s just call it “Redding, California”) that you chose for no other reason than it was approximately half-way between one place and somewhere else.

When that happens, the best thing to do is spend your time away from “Redding, California.”
