Here is a shot of the entire complex with two more towers scheduled but I am sure that is delayed. Only about 2.5 miles from my house. A few more pics are on my site listed in the signature.

that is a nice picture
what kind of camera used to take this picture?

Very nice GL... your child looks ready to drive it...:-) Enjoy in good health...

Thank you. This shot was with the Canon 40D and a wide angle lens and was taken from a parking garage top level across the street. There are some additional shots on my web site in the "My Neighborhood" album.

Thanks oknish. It actually took me a while to find a wheel that fit my needs... subtle bling if there is such an aesthetic. I think this covers that.

The entire GL design is a case study in "subtle bling" Pains me at times to see what some idiots around here in SoCal do to their GLs.

Dark, wet weather

I took a nice shot of my GL in front of some mountains yesterday, during the rain. It's not often I have a good combination of lighting, background, car, time, and what little photographic talent I have to show off the beauty of my baby.

Nice shot Steve. It looks like the desert is starting to bloom. I will be out there in a couple weeks for our season opener.

Thank you (and Thanks to Jen as well!). It's been a nicely wet season and lots is blooming. <Sniffle> It's been a while since I've seen it this green. Unfortunately, as nice as it is, a hot summer can mean lots of fuel for fire season. We haven't had a big close fire since the early 90's.

Where will you be? (And season opener of ... ?)

Nice shot Steve... you are getting the hang of putting a nice background behind your GL for pictures.

We have also had strange hot/cold, dry/wet weather... have not been out to the desert but suspect it will be greener than normal this year.
