singapore - l.a. - las vegas - fresno - san francisco - singapore . 17-26 june 2005 .

my heart fell for san francisco. its skies were full of clouds, though its breezes chilled my heart and made it shiver. Yet...this cool-ness seemed to freeze the colors of the place into portraits and portraits of beautiful san francisco, making them so bright and still in my sight, and magically coupling them with the alternating blue puffy and then wispy skies.

anybody wants a piece of these portraits?

i termed montery bay my favourite little secret corner of the world ten years ago when i was beside its royal blue waters of the pacific ocean.

no longer so. commercialismn had taken its toll on montery. no more ignorant sea lions sunbathing on the shores. even the seagulls stayed a distance. more rich residents by the beachline with cosy small yet really costly houses with unproportionally big windows.

i wish i could catch a glimpse of montery when john steinbeck wrote his novel on it back then.

l.a. - still as dry, sunny, noisy, congested. the colors of universal studio, disneyland and the rest of the lands did no justice to the blandness of the place i held in my eyes. main highlight here: studio tram ride in universal studios; you would either scare or laugh to bits.

las vegas - they call it sin city. period.
