My Paradise Visit



Just got back from a long distance road trip to California. And I found my “Paradise” there!  I thought San Francisco was it for a long time but I fell in love with the Monterey Peninsula area, especially Pacific Grove. We drove Route 1, the slower coastal drive from outside LA to northward. What a beautiful drive it was! You could clearly feel that we humans are fortunate to borrow a smidge of space sandwiched between beautiful mountains (not all mountains had trees but they were nevertheless gorgeous) and many shades of azure colored ocean. In this drive I noticed the bridges were beautifully harmonious with the nature. No bare grey concrete. Breath-taking views continued almost endlessly. My eyes were entertained by various surprises. 

We all love anything beautiful and not boring, right? TEXUTURE, CLARITY and SURPRISES are 3 words which popped in my head. Trees, shrubs, rocks, water, and sky with clouds—these create different textures and clarity. I found clearness in all that I saw, nothing was blurry.  And surprises that were such fun to discover. The same things apply to your image. You don’t want to look blurry and boring!  We spot you because your looks have clarity, texture, focal point and something interesting.
