I went to the Santa Monica pier...
Did you do an "End of the Trail" photo?
Yep, I could not resist it. I had never photographed that before.
Trail markers? When I lived near Santa Monica we hadn't got no trail markers! We didn't need no trail markers!! I didn't have to photograph any stinkin' trail markers!!!
Yeah... that's new. Wasn't there when I left in 1978. Place has clearly gone to hell.
I've got plenty of photos on the pier, the park, and environs. Hey - as a kid I along with hundreds of people watched the elegant Deauville Club burn to the ground in... 1965 I think it was. Thick black billowing clouds. It was where the parking lot next to the pier is.
EDIT: Whoa! Here it is! My father and I are in that photo - somewhere on the park cliffs.

A roll of AgfaPhoto Precisa in my Pentax LX. At a certain heritage steam railway in East Lancs., U.K.
Given a lovely sunny day I was expecting some great shots of steam locos, but the day was ruined by dozens of digital image-makers milling around with their enormous lenses determined to get "their" masterpiece shots regardless of anyone else. Gave up in the end.
(We have a theory about men of a certain age who buy digital cameras with huge lenses....the longer the lens they buy, the smaller their feet...or something like that. Sort of compensation.)
