	Cali-Thorn-ia Adventure part 5 - Half Moon Bay
	First, a song. This song always reminds me of California, it reminds me of trail rides on horseback with my aunt, it reminds me of the ocean, I can just associate the sound with so much of my state. Hokey I know but...music affects all of us differently :) Death Cab For Cutie -Soul Meets Body That said, westly_roanoke took me and his friend to Half Moon Bay and the Berkeley hills. The scenery to and from was absolutely spectacular. And fortunately for once I didn't have to drive so I got to enjoy it to its fullest :) Thank you Wes! He knows what I like XD Panorama of the San Francisco Bay from the Berkeley Hills. edit Dammit, I crop these things on my computer and they look fine but when I put them on my mom's computer they look all dark. Do these seem dark to you? On my computer you can actually see the trees without them being black blobs :P I think this monitor is too dark anyways though... Current Music: Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body

Canon Powershot. I just got it for a pre-birthday present from my dad and stepmom. It kicks my old one's ass, I used to have a Nikon something or other.

Wow! what a beautiful place ...!!! =)

That beach reminds me of the movie "Evil under the sun", based upon an Agatha Christie's novel ;D

It's a wonderful place!
PS: Berkeley Hills ...? I'm writing a novel in a place called "Berkeley Hills", but I invented that name ...!!! XD Coincidence!

(All the photos look fine on my PC)

:) isn't it? It has all the wide open spaces you tell me you like about the US. We have lots of it here. Unfortunately during the summer those wide open spaces are mostly on fire but..still ;)

Handy website for checking and adjusting monitor calibration:
Monitor Calibration [epaperpress.com]

This is just one of many (I think it needs Java and Javascript enabled.)

I know the berkeley hills well, that was part of my armoured car route in 2003, and we would see it in all sorts of weather. Halfmoon Bay I know well too, becauwe inhighschool and early college, I would take my first car, the 1969 Olds 98 to the beach at San Gregorio, late at night with all the guys, with the stereo playing KFOG, and talk about the deep mysteries of life, and varioud D&D, and Champions campaigns. Oddly enough Halfmoon Bay was also two stops on another armoured car route, and I remember one day driving back towards 92, along the water, and the sun hit at just the right angle to turn the rolling waves on thebeach to Molten gold. It's pretty, but I don't think pretty enough to make me want to move back north.

grass is always greener I suppose :) I'm amped to move up there at some point in my life. There's one place I have my eye on but its kinda nowheresville. I think that's what the appeal is. I love SoCal but its getting kinda old.
