crystal cathedral
The Crystal Cathedral is a Protestant Christian Church in the city of Garden Grove, in Orange County, California, United States. The prominent architect Philip Johnson designed the main sanctuary building, which was constructed using over 10,000 rectangular panes of glass and its sanctuary seats 2,736 persons.[2] The rectangular panes of glass are not bolted to the structure; instead they are glued to it using a silicone-based glue. This and other measures are intended to allow the building to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8.0.

Harry Perry has been the most famous skater in Venice Beach since 1973 when he made his debut as a turbaned, guitar playing, street performer. Originally he wore quad roller skates but later he made the transition to inline skates. Harry has appeared in many movies and videos and in 2002 a likeness of Harry was installed in one of the theme parks at Disneyland in Anaheim California. (source)

..convention centers usually are architecturally appealing, but one doesn’t usually get to go inside and see how it looks unless there was an event going on.. i just happened to see this while walking around during last weekend’s auto show..

..so i’ve been seeing wordless wednesday posts around and decided to give it a go.. but wait, i’ve typed in words.. then this post doesn’t count, right? 😀
..took this while i was down by Crescent Bay in Laguna Beach.. there was a spot that looked very, very promising, but before reaching that, i had to traverse through the beach, and up some slippery rocks with some waves crashing up because of high tide while wearing flip flops and lugging several pounds of gear.. well, that didn’t end well, i ended up missing a step and slipped.. my cam was spared, but my shin & knee wasn’t.. at least i got some good ones.. lol.. i’ll try returning for some more shots later..
..i wasn’t there but saw it online, Kelly Slater won the competition and bagged the $105,000 prize..
..my bird ID’ing skills aren’t up to par yet, but i think this is a pacific golden plover.. 🙂
..the end of the week, a finish line spent at the beach..
..after a 2-day lay day, the event coordinators decided to push through with the competition at Trestles.. i chose to go back as well.. it was a cool, cloudy day.. the waves were just alright..
..this is Taylor Knox aka “TK” during the men’s heat # 10, round 2..

..went to watch a surfing competition at Trestles, but found out later it was postponed for thursday.. bummer..
..if you take a look at the upper right frame of yesterday’s post, you’d notice that this is how it looks like up close..
..this was where i was stalking the humming bird i shot a few posts back..

..when not flitting around from flower to flower, the humming bird just hangs around and chills..
..the good thing with being the driver on a road trip is that you get to choose when and where to stop.. well, since i was the driver, i get to do that.. and that’s exactly what i did.. that’s why it took us almost a week to get to San Francisco and back.. here’s one of the first stops, somewhere around the Gaviota State Park..
..gotta slurp your ramen in style..
..i had to hike a bit while wearing flip flops just to get to see this one, no regrets here.. 🙂
McWay Falls is an 80 foot waterfall located in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park that flows year-round. Like Alamere Falls, this waterfall is one of only two in the region that are close enough to the ocean to be referred as “tidefalls”. It is located on McWay Creek.Although it can be viewed via a trail from above, the beach and scenic cove below is difficult to access by land, however, it could be easily reached by boat. Even with this possibility, it is not recommended that people visit the beach as a safety precaution due to crumbling cliffs and environmental reasons.
