The Sky Was Glorious For A Moment, Central Park

by Kinan Faham on Apr.22, 2010, under Flowers, Nature, Parks, Walking, photography

Last Sunday we had an unusually blue sky all over the place. It looked especially dramatic around the reservoir of Central Park.

Mimi’s Sacred Garden

by Kinan Faham on Apr.22, 2010, under Nature, photography

This is how my aunt’s garden looked like last Sunday. Suffice it to say she puts huge effort into the garden and the results are worth the while.

Day 15:Joshua Tree National Park

by Kinan Faham on Jan.19, 2010, under Hiking, National Parks, Nature, Parks, Travel, photography

Named after the famous Joshua Tree, the national park is located in the Southeastern Corner of California and is surrounded by three towns: TwentyNine Palms, Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley. I saw signs for all three of them on my way from Palm Springs.

The sky was California quality blue and the views were just breathtaking. I drove through many spots starting at the Northern Entrance passing through Jumbo Rocks, Skull Rock, Sheep Pass, Ryan mountain, Keys Ranch and finally Barker Dam loop just as the sun was about to set. You can see the dam in the pictures. Colors of the sunset were different from any other place I have been to in this trip. Temperatures were in the low 60s & suffice to say, I am still suffering from a trauma since I came back to CT!

This is the last post for this trip, 15 days in heaven.

  • The Silent Camera

    Always fascinated by the odds of the world we live in, I keep my camera at close range all the time just to capture anything my eyes see and like.

    This blog will document journeys to places unknown(to this fella at least) and show you around through his eyes.

    My long term goal is to visit all of the 392 national parks in the United States and hopefully many more interesting places.

    I hope you like how I see our world.

    Feel free to send me your shouts & murmurs either by leaving a comment or through the contact page.

    Ciao!
