Big Basin Redwood Park, 2008. Last year during California fires most of the park was burned down.

In the 1980s and 1990s when I lived in Silicon Valley I used to go to Big Basin often. Hiking, taking photos, and just enjoying the beautiful park and the big Redwoods. Sad to hear that it burned down.

The memorable thing to me is that a few weeks before the firestorm, I did a 22 mile hike (sklyline to sea) that goes through the park.
To think I am one of the few that was fortunate to see the park before fire, is amazing and sad at once.

December 2006/
Christmas in Malaga, Spain (birth place of Picasso, I think).



View from the Rock (of Gibraltar). Perhaps the only runway with street road crossing it. The only access to town of Gibraltar crosses the runway and whenever a plane takesoff or lands, the road is closed to traffic.


St. Michael's cave, Gibraltar.

Sury, in 2008 looked like a very serious person. Which cannot be said today.
And the photos are good.

Valery,
Thank you.

2009 Puerto Vallarta, Mexico



My son, daughter and I at the restaurant. He was 16 and my daughter was 14 at that time.


My son is absolutely fascinated by snakes.

Sury, only one year later and you looks more friendly.
Good shots.

Great double set, Sury.

Sad that those majestic trees were burnt to the ground and diverse fauna was affected terribly.

Thanks for sharing,

Apparently I was shooting Coal buckets' photos with DSC-V3.
For local coffee shops where hookah is smoked in Karaköy district and barbecue stalls/eateries, I suppose.
