California

 Avenue of the Giants drive

 Dancing with the Faeries



 Wishing I could sit here all day in my faery world

 Mesmerised 





















 Most amazing redwood forest northern Cali


 Highway 1, northern Cali.  
Apparently the more rugged and 'real' coastal drive compared to Big Sur



 One of the biggest trees in the forest 






 My room fit for a queen after sleeping in the car 

 What happens to the beach when it's next to a redwood forest.  
Wouldn't want to get hit by one of these in the surf. 


 Mendocino coastal town, my good night sleep after the car


Narrow road hugs the coastline, beautiful views












 End of the road before I head back in to Highway 101 down to San Fran 

 Thinking outside the box with these instruments, sounded amazing

 San Fransisco streets


 China town, Jack Kerouac's old hang out





 America, full of the most amazing book stores


















 San Fran streets

 Santa Cruz Pier







 Surf amongst the kelp and seals

 Seals appreciating a good sunset too







 Paddle into the sunset


 Santa Cruz, home to surfing Cali




Colorado and Oregon

 View of snow capped mountains from Lilly Mountain

 Amazing views.  A reason why they call them the Rocky Mountains
