Sunset on Cuyamaca Peak
Photographed: 2016 Location: Cuyamaca Rancho State Park This image was taken to the Southwest during a July 2016 hike with my good friend Alex Kunz. We expected an onshore flow and were greeted with a light marine layer at sunset on the peak.

Cloud's Edge

Photographed: 2018 Location: Laguna Mountains, San Diego County, California During a storm that had enveloped most of the lower elevations in San Diego County, I found this favorite stop along Sunrise Highway as the point where the rain shadow could be seen in real time. I made a 30 second exposure to better illustration the exact point where the storm clouds melted into water vapor, depriving Granite Mountain and lower Anza Borrego the water it craved for. This forest-chaparral-desert transition zone has always amazed me.

Frosty Burger
Photographed: 2013 Location: Pine Valley, California Frosty Burger has only been around since 1980, so it post-dates the installation of Interstate 8. But it is still a great landmark along Old Highway 80, and they make a mighty tasty chocolate shake as well.

1931 Bridge
Photographed: 2013 Location: Jacumba Hot Springs, California This beautiful bridge was built in 1931 over the original Bankhead Highway bridge that was destroyed. Look in the background, and you will see telephone lines going through the original road that pre-dated US Route 80. The bridge is over the Arizona Eastern San Diego railway.

Bankhead Springs Hotel
Photographed: 2016 Location: Bankhead Springs, California Bankhead Springs, named for the historic Bankhead Highway, was essentially a suburb of Jacumba Hot Springs, at the Southernmost stretch of Old Highway 80 in California. The most notable landmark was the Bankhead Springs Hotel, shown here in modern times as a private residence. It would be lovely to someday be able to do a tour of the old hotel and take some interior photographs.
