THEN CAME DUSK




Without much realization, dusk crept over the canyon, and before long I was making haste down the trail, before night came. 

The Moon over Solstice Canyon

Solstice Canyon

3-miles of trails


I sat and watched a pair of parrots fly between tree branches high above me. Malibu & Topanga are so diverse, with just EVERYTHING. These are parrots (Nanday conures/ Black-Hood Parrots) here, nesting in a Canyon, with houses along the ridge and views of the shoreline!? Wow, cool!

Solistic Canyon has a fun, textured tempo where even pavement meets the crushing, shifting dirt and rocks. A marriage that joins the historic parts of the Trails, like a hunting cabin and the foundation of a mansion by Paul Reeve Williams. Making it a nice “hybrid” of exploration.


I have two of my favs from this set that I want to point out . The inside of a tree trunk has Rorschach inkblot-esch and I thought a color image would be a nice complement to the photo - sorta enriching the experience. The second is a shot of the moon. Our cosmic neighbor always looks good
