One man and his camera ...
Pictures
As you'll see below, taking pictures is fast becoming a hobby,
from simple shots on the beach of Santa Monica, to the high
speeds of the NASCAR, not to mention macro pictures and a
few random ones for good measure.
Whatever the weather, come rain or shine, I have my camera
...

Set One - 4th July Fireworks
This set of pictures were taken on the 4th of July
2006, at Redondo Beach, California.
>> After a scorching hot day walking around the
pear and beaches, with a tasty beverage to wet the pallet!
The time was set to light up the sky like only the Americans
know how, Big Bold and often rather dangerous (so dangerous
that firework's displays are not leigal on land, and
so the entire show was from a barge 100 yards out to
sea. |

Set Six - NASCAR at the California Speedway
This set of pictures was taken on a visit to the California
Speedway during a Nascar race.

speeds of 200mph, which some Americans consider fast,
just wait till they try the M1 at 2am (M1 being the
majoy motorway in the UK!!). |
