An unusual awning in Carmel. There's even sourgrass weed growing up there.

Roy's Barber Shop, Pacific Grove

My favorite local barber hard at work in the early evening. Another photo of this place is here.

McDougall Building

When the township of Salinas was founded in the 1870s, freight hauler James McDougall moved there from Santa Barbara. Because of his experience as a constable in Scotland, he was made the first Marshall. Unfortunately he died a few years later as the result of a gun shot wound.  This building named in his honor was built in 1898.

Hat Wave

This disembodied cowboy arm (snapped through the windshield while speeding) greets Highway 68 drivers on their way to  Salinas. Not sure what happened to the rest of him. I'll have to ask cut-out muralist John Cerney.

storm at dusk

Fascinating creatures (clouds) the way they drift so close they appear to be coming in for a landing here on Carmel beach. Of course Skywatch Friday  is the place to go for a kaleidoscope of atmospheric marvels.

disappointed sheep

Sometimes I feed the sheep on my way  to Stewart's Beach. This day I forgot to bring the carrots.

Assigned Seating

Greetings and apologies for long hiatus. I'll have to get re-acquainted with what everyone's been up to..Meanwhile saw this today in a school yard.
