Its almost an hour from Old Town (leave in the morning) and will cost $25 using a Taxi. Uber might be cheaper. I would never take a bus there.
Really. there are LOTS of those sculptures around.
I had a few others I wanted to post but ran against the size limit and the number of photos.
Thaks. Its really amazing.
Didn't know that. Googled it and got a response that American alligators live 50 years in the wild. Interesting.
They sure get pretty massive on what/when they do eat.
I was lucky. Got to Figueroa Mountain, Walker Canyon, Joshua Tree, and the best one, Antelope Valley. I hit that just right. Its hard to time it. I was just pretty lucky. Depending on the altitude and heat, the lower places like Anza bloom first then the higher places like Joshua Tree, next. Talking to one of the locals in Borrego Springs, he said to look at the rain forecast in November. If there's rain, then there's going to be a bloom in March.
Thanks! Its a very great place. Surprised it took me all these years to get there.
Shot in April. Missed the big bloom though by a few days but still some great photo ops. Great stars at night but my night photography is a disaster.
How do they keep that many gators from eating each other? Must be well fed.
Pictures taken in early April. Great place to visit. Lots of great photo ops.
I toured Quito with an 18-300 lens and it worked great. Make sure to hit the Old Town (Plaza Grande is great), ride up the Teleferico, and go up into the towers of the Volto Basilica for some great views. Be courteous when taking pictures of people. I did have one women, very nicely dressed in local attire, ask that I not take her picture.
I've tried that and its a lot of work. After taking some photos, resizing, printing, cutting to the 2x2 size and then wondering if it was aligned right, I didn't want to take the chance screwing it up and have my passport renewal rejected because my photo was 1/16" off or something like that. Costco charges $4.99 and has them ready within minutes. You can't even buy decent photo paper for that price.
