California sunset

Back in 1979, I went to California on my honeymoon. While driving from LA to San Fran during the evening along U.S. Route 1, I got to take some sunset pictures of the Pacific coast. These are old pictures that I took with my non-digital Minota camera and later scanned into a JPG file that I loaded on Photobucket.

Kaaterskill Falls in the Catskills

Just a couple hours out of WNY are the Catskill Mountains. This is a summer resort area for not only campers, but for fishermen and high class motels in the mountain areas. Kaaterskill Falls are on the eastern side of the Catskills, but are worth the trip. This is a two-tiered water falls that is a magnet for photo buffs.
