Malibu State Park

When I saw Joe’s surreal photo, looking down on the Eifel Tower with the glitter.  I decided that was the perspective I wanted to shoot from.  Since I had no clue, where the heck else to go with his shot. I went out climbing later this afternoon and told my climbing friends I had to get an image for my Daily Photo posting.  The first route I was climbing, this young woman was climbing along side.  It suddenly dawned on me, this was my shot.  I pulled out my camera that I climb with and grabbed a few photos of her.  She’s chalking up to get ready for the rest of the pitch.  You can see her climbing partner way down below, managing the rope she’s being belayed from. It’s been a long day.  From climbing, we all went out and had a great dinner, then I met my wife and daughter to see Wolf of Wall Street.  That was one crazy flick!  And a fun day!  

Joe’s shot with many shades of gray made me think of this shot I did only a few weeks ago at Malibu State Park.  Early morning winding through Mulhulland, I caught a glimpse of these light rays in my side view mirror.  I turned my car around and drove back to find a small turnout.  The clouds, mountain ranges and the streaks of light were exhilarating to see.  A great way to start a day of hiking and climbing.
