The first one of the skyline from the bridge is stunning. And the window pattern is VERY interesting. Great captures, as always.

During the summer you see them sleeping on the grass and they blend right in with the other beach goers. The younger people are here by choice, the older ones may have mental issues . . . The young ones either beg or try to get handouts from the Government. The older ones scrounge for bottles and other stuff in dumpsters or trash cans. They even have their own flea market on the weekends but I am not sure a camera would be welcomed. I am sure many have stories to tellAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-52611458019579952052014-03-31T18:03:19.778-07:002014-03-31T18:03:19.778-07:00Spectacular photos Bob ...

I expect the homeless folks sleep during the day when the sun warms them enough to be able to sleep and they have to keep moving at night to keep from freezing. I am just so thankful that neither my sons or I is homeless - we are so fortunate, I have nothing to complain about and everything to be thankful for.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-67775603808676457172014-03-31T12:35:54.735-07:002014-03-31T12:35:54.735-07:00Kathy:

Our climate is the best in Canada where it is generally mild all year round. This year may have been an exception. They come with no jobs and no money and apply for either welfare or other social services. <br /><br />Bright overcast days are best for photography for the diffused light but it was threatening to rain all day with sprinkles, and later it started to rain.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-34915731551286367692014-03-31T12:21:40.730-07:002014-03-31T12:21:40.730-07:00Richard:

Now you know why I don't ride nor commute much as it isn't fun with all the gridlocked cars all rushing to go nowhere fast. It takes me an hour to get to the open road and most times I just don't like fighting the traffic. We have metered parking 7 days a week until 10pm every night including Saturday and Sundays. 24/7 that is why I walked downtown. Next time I may take the bus. <br /><br />I like to meander on lonely two lane roads too but they are rare to find because of our mountainous terrain. Much better in Oregon or southern WA stateAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-87179585686857955962014-03-31T09:59:18.864-07:002014-03-31T09:59:18.864-07:00Great photo tour.

We have our share in the Mid-Atlantic cities (Washington, DC; Baltimore; Philadelphia, etc.), but nowhere near the numbers seen in cities with milder climates. Too many heat and cold extremes here, I think.ToadMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873763565941746536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-84772270814947230752014-03-30T23:12:19.908-07:002014-03-30T23:12:19.908-07:00There are many that really enjoy life in large cit...There are many that really enjoy life in large cities. The excitement, night life and variety maybe. When I see images of a large city, I start to feel strangled and stressed. I'll take fields, mountains and lonely two lane meandering roads and small towns anytime. I don't know how you do it...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
