reviews_and_ramblingsCalifornia was one of my recent travel and you had plenty of photos too see during it since I posted a day to day journal. But I have some photos I didn't post since I took with me two different camera, a digital camera and a reflex camera. The reflex camera is very old, a 1971 Nikkormat that I love dearly since it was of my late father. I still believe that some pics and colors I can only reach with it.

See? The pic is nothing special, but I like how I "built" it, with the different levels of color (the two of the sand, then the sea and the sky), how the limit betweem earth and sea is exactly in the middle, and how the man is positioned in the corner. All right, probably with a good digital camera (mine was not) I could reach the same result, but I like my old one.
Side note: the same surfer you see there, when he came ashore, took a shower probably few feet away from me... but I hadn't the courage to click! Pismo Beach is a really nice beach village and the pier is really nice, with family, lovers and surfers all around the beach.

The average household size was 2.02 and the average family size was 2.58.
In the city the population was spread out with 15.3% under the age of 18, 6.5% from 18 to 24, 25.2% from 25 to 44, 28.4% from 45 to 64, and 24.5% who were 65 years of age or older.

The population had a wave of expansion starting in the 1980s, after completion of waste water treatment facilities expansion designed by Kennedy Jenks Engineers; this lack of infrastructure had previously limited population growth. (From Wikipedia)
