Broke Down In Bodie

I found what is left of this car outside a house in Bodie State Historic Park. 

Fort Point The Other Side

This is the south side of the Golden Gate Bridge and on the west side of Fort Point. I had tried previously to access this area but failed, I had started out from Baker Beach and the beach disappeared into a cliff. On this trip I started further north and in the excitement I trespassed (I did not see the sign) but my daughter pointed it out to me on the way out. I noticed we were watched very closely by a police officer on a bike and the wind surfer in the last image. At first I thought it was just a wind surfer but I noticed he was very interested in what I was doing. They did not approach me but they let me know I was being watched. The first and last image were the only shots taken after I had trespassed. 

McDonald's Old Style

This is the  McDonald's in Yakima Washington it is strait out of the 1950's. This how McDonald's looked when they were franchised in May of 1953 the second McDonald's was opened in Phoenix, Arizona by Neil Fox an executive at Occidental Petroleum. Under the single arch located up on the roof is the original McDonald's mascot Speedee, he was later replaced by Ronald McDonald. Inside they have a McDonald's themed motorcycle, a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz you can eat in along with a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. They also have a Rockola jukebox and the interior of the building is decorated with pictures of 1950's icon's from Rock and Roll to Hollywood movie stars. 

Bella Pier Casa Sul Lago Tahoe Vista

While up in Tahoe I stayed in Bella Vista Sul Lago and photographed that house and another property called Bella Pier Casa Sul Lago (beautiful pier house of the lake) in Tahoe Vista. Again my family thanks you for all the great hospitality, we had a wonderful weekend.

The pier located right across the street.

Bella Vista Sul Lago Tahoe Vista

My family and I were lucky enough to spend a few days at Bella Vista Sul Lago (beautiful view of the lake) in Tahoe Vista while I photographed the house. The owners hosted my sister's wedding at one of their other house's Bella Vista Della Valle (Beautiful View of the Valley). My family thanks you for all the great hospitality, we had a wonderful weekend and a great time at my sister's wedding.
