A mural of Cesar Chavez, who formed together with others in 1962 the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) that later became the United Farm Workers of America. The NFWA fought to empower farmworkers.

And across the street from the mural, street art.
I took a view days off from my busy retired life in the mountains and headed to the so much cooler coast.
Here a couple of iPhone and Nikon shots at Morro Bay State Park which was dedicated in the 1930s and harbors a pretty golf course and an old campground, also built in the 1930s, with heavy walled structures … to survive.
Another Beach I visited is in Santa Barbara County and is known by Jalama Beach (ausgesprochen: Hä-lama Beach) that was given as a gift by the Richfield Oil Company to Santa Barbara County in 1942. It was once a settlement of the Chumash Native American called Halama. It has an amazing beach with natural tar spots here and there and the Jalama Creek flowing into the ocean. The LA to San Luis Obispo train line is rolling over an old bridge over the creek. The bridge even in daylight looks as being held together mainly by iron oxides.
In the evening, the fog rolling over the hills from the Vandenberg “Space Force Base” towards the Jalama Beach.
Early in the morning, at the Jalam Beach, a cargo train pushing wagons over the old bridge up north, another lucky crossing…

The photographer and the Staircase. This gentleman spent a good amount of time with an old “film” camera to take photos of the staircase. He later told me about the pleasure he has with maximal 3 photos of one subject.
Don’t huff and puff if you want to keep the ghost town Bodie alive!
A vast ocean of lava covers about 400 square miles along the Great Rift of Idaho, with some of the deepest known rift cracks on earth, with the deepest know here to be 800 feet deep. The area contains more than 25 volcanic cones and about 60 distinct solidified lava flows, ranging in age from 15,000 to 2,000 years ago.

Cruising through North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, here are some impressions of alive, beauty, and still standing.
