More Pics from Last Trip

TinaRMarie2 - 9-18-2006 at 03:18 PM

Hi Everyone ~ I wanted to share a few more pics with you all.

I hope my timing is ok and no offense will be taken in posting pics from our great vacation when so many locals are still trying to get their lives and homes back to as normal as possible. My heart truly goes out to all affected by John.

Stopped for breakfast in Santo Tomas


Drinks after dinner in Guerrero Negro, Malarrimo Restaurant, interesting whaling history


Tamales from Carmalita's (I swear, we did not eat the entire time! :rolleyes:


Seen coming out of Guerrero Negro, amazingly beautiful


Not something you see in California :lol:


San Ignacio ~ What a sight after driving in the desert to see this oasis for the first time :o


Cute little house there


I LOVE this picture! Anyone we know? :biggrin: Taken in Mulege at the Orchard.


Downtown Mulege ~ This young man was helping this elderly woman across the street. It was something else you don't see too much in California unfortunately....


The firehouse:


I just thought this was a interesting extreme in some of the homes we saw there, but still beautiful in it's own way.


This just made me laugh.....Those dogs were barking and NOT giving up!


I don't know who this is but he let me take his picture; he was walking from the marina area in Mulege


Mountain on the way to Loreto. Does anyone know if there is a significance to this design? It was beautiful nevertheless.


OK, for laughs, I wanted Will to straddle this rock so I could take a pic, but he was no fun and wouldn't, hehe


Our Truck in Catavina


And last but not least, the beautiful sunrise we woke up to in BOLA.


I hope you enjoyed them :)

Great fotos Tina. You really have a good eye.

Very nice photos, all of them! Thank you for sharing. I got a laugh out of the hammock photo- notice all the Caguamas on the table in the background! They might have contributed to siesta time!

P.<*)))><

WOW! Thanks! Did you have a favorite place?

In today's world with all the modern technology it is not to difficult to obtain an image with a camera either top side or underwater to create what was formerly called a "snap shot." On rare occasions a true pictuue will emerge from this serendipious efforts.

You have a great eye for subject, composition and lighting--and taking true pictures that tell a story rather than just being a mere snap shot. Once again I would strongly urge that you perfect the natural talent that you seem to have aquired by enrolling in a series of photo classes in your local community college.

This enrollment is not to make you a professional photographer, but rather to further sharpen your skills in idenifing the componets of subject, composition and lighting.

Remember a good photographer has a big waste basket! They are remembered by their best photograph or by or by their worst photograph--Toss the worse and display the best.

Nice pictures!

I personally like the one of tamales the most. But then it's lunchtime and that may have a lot to do with it.

Tamale Picture.

Skipjack! I'm not hungry. Those tamale pictures still look good. Homemade tamales are very hard to find.:)

Totally enjoyed your photos. Please post more!

TinaRMarie2 - 9-19-2006 at 11:18 PM

Thanks everyone for your comments :)

Cypress, it's hard to choose a favorite in Baja, everywhere we went was special in it's own way. But we spent most of our time in Mulege, which was wonderful, just exploring, taking pictures of course, getting up early to get fresh tortillas, drinking my morning coffee on the patio of the Serenidad, watching the sunrise. BOLA was really special though too, great people and just a nice quiet sense of community. I remember walking from our hotel around 9 or 10pm, hand in hand with my honey under a full moon, to a little place to eat a few doors down and just having this total peaceful feeling come over me. I think it's the personal experiences somewhere that make it a favorite place.
Dean~ Wow, you should be a writer if you are not already, LOL. Thank you for the wonderful complement. I have been planning on getting the book "Understanding Exposure" to learn some more about, well exposure :) And my sister and I have been talking about maybe taking some classes too. I think it's a great idea, so one day.....Oh and I have plenty of pics to toss in the garbage :) Thank goodness for digital! As far as pictures that tell a story, you got me thinking; I scrapbook and when I take pictures, I am thinking in the back of my mind about that and the way I want to capture my trip or event and truly tell a story, my story. So, I guess it's working :bounce: Which is great when I get home, but can make me really annoying on trips at times! :lol:
Thanks again everyone.....Now I want tamales bad........

How do you know that is the name? Or did you just make it up? I wouldn't be surprised if they did have names. I wonder how they form?

Nice work tinarmarie, I think your timing was good, it's always good to move om and sometimes we need a nudge. thanks

DianaT - 10-12-2006 at 11:22 AM

Thanks for posting them

----Beautiful photos, and they DO tell a story. Really nice.

I believe that the mountainside "display" is lava. It probably just ooozed from fissures sometime after the forming of the original mountain, thus the different "look" it has. It appears to be fairly new, as there is very little (if any) vegatation growing within the flows, which means that the soil has not yet formed.

All this is really no more than a guess, but I have personally seen it several times, and wondered.

TinaRMarie2 - 10-13-2006 at 06:31 PM

Thank you Barry and Diane :)
