Keith's travels in California and the Pacific Northwest - April-May 2007

  • This photo-diary covers a driving trip up the coast from San Francisco in April/May 2007 along the Pacific highway. Now I've returned, I've included some of my travel photography from this trip in the main Gallery, and updated any info that may be of help to people who come across these pages as part of their planning for driving tours of the California and Oregon coasts, looking for places to stay or sites to visit. It's a great place for a vacation, or just a road trip up the Pacific coast to photograph some of the scenery. If you've any questions about the hotels/inns/motels where I stayed, then please do feel free to drop me a line.

Ok, just travelling today, but I thought I'd take a few shots from the plane, since after getting the 7:55am flight from London to Chicago, I discovered that it's often quite empty and had a row of seats to myself.

Anyway, no trip starts without a (slightly weak) cup of tea. Todays pics are taken with the free Sony S500 I recently got with a data projector, so are from jpeg files and through a plane window - not the best of quality ;-)
