We spent
3 days in San Diego and loved the experience.
We parked at the free parking at the zoo and took the number 7 bus
downtown where we firstly went to see the USS Midway, the longest US serving
aircraft carrier 1945-91 which is berthed at Navy Pier. The US Pacific Fleet, after the attack on
Pearl Harbour was relocated to San Diego’s harbour and this helped
redevelop the city.
Above is a photo of the USS Midway taken as a panorama photo with our new camera. It is a later version of the old camera but you can take wide angled shots, panorama shots as above and close ups as well as moving objects which are included below.
In front of the ship is a giant statue which was erected to celebrate the returning troops from WWII at the declaration of peace.
Balboa
Park is a large urban space with gorgeous gardens, museums and early
20th century Spanish colonial architecture. Below is the reflecting pool in front of the Prado.
People come here to stroll around its many
plazas and gardens, visit the numerous museums
and it is very popular for wedding photos.
A spectacular wedding guest I could not resist capturing on film.
These poodles are dressed to kill.
A beautiful macaw - this was part of an exhibition by a bird rescue organisation - they were raising money for this good cause.
