random hike.

With my first term of grad school behind me and winter break beginning, I find myself with plenty of time on my hands. One thing that I hadn't done in a while because of school is ride my bike. So today, when I woke up, I decided to go on a little bike ride with my camera(s). I took one of my film cameras out as well as my little point and shoot. My original intent was to just ride around my neighborhood and find things to photograph along the way... I ended up riding up a hefty hill and stumbled upon a hiking trail. So, the bike was locked up to a fence and I was off on a little hike. Where the trail took me was completely unexpected. I had amazing views of Los Angeles all the way down to Orange County, as well as Catalina Island. The recent rain storms definitely helped clean up the air quality which aided the view. Below are some of the pictures that I took with my small digital camera. I'm definitely going back up there... It's nice to stumble upon things like that.
