Glimpses of South Pasadena: Duet

Duet

The recent hazy sky put on a nice show with the sun. I tried, but didn't quite capture all the drama.

(For more drama, check out these absolutely stunning recent sky shots from Shanna over at View. )

This is a cute little blog. I lived in South Pasadena from the early 70's to the early 90's and in Northeast L.A. before that. I live in WA State now.

Despite my relief in getting away to some degree from the smog, the traffic and the crowds I still feel a strong connection to those places.. I just find them so special in so many ways.

Just recently I made an interesting discovery looking at South Pasadena from Google Earth: Elephant Hill. Look at the Monterey Hills and it's just south of the border with L.A. - you'll see a sizable undeveloped area with Collis Ave bordering on the west and Hanscom Dr in the Monterey Hills on the North.

Amazing that there's such a stretch of undeveloped land right in your backyard there. I must have drove past it countless times on Collis. I remember wondering what the heck was up there but never followed up. Check it out if you haven't already.; August 8, 2011 at 4:28 PM

No thanks on the vampires. Maybe a howling wolf though. :); August 8, 2011 at 7:26 PM
