I created the above before we set off to the USA. Partly because of the unfortunate fatal accident suffered by Prospero (my tablet PC) - see ++++ - but mainly because California turned out to be much bigger than I thought, the only places on the list that we managed to visit were the last three.

The massive pillar behind which the sun is rising looked to me like a late addition but it is part of the original design. Cables-wise the structure is two separate suspension bridges and this pillar, called the Center Anchorage corresponds to the land side anchorages at either end.

Santa Cruz is a bit like Blackpool with palm trees. It was a Sunday and busy so we just drove straight through after seeing the recently created roundabout - a very unusual feature in the US. See this article.

Jetty Road, Moss landing. We watched these people for at least half an hour trying to get these two horses into an horse box - they just would not go. The people were still trying when we left.

They call these just "jellies", not "jelly fish" because, however big they are, they still count as plankton: sea animals incapable of swimming against a current.

La Brea Tar Pits

Looking very incongruous, this three storey building stands just opposite the tar pits.

2012-07-26 11:56:56 Fr:127927 Sq:26115656

This mess is on the sidewalk (Brit: pavement) just outside the tar pits site. I think it is a tar pit that has escaped.

Beverly Hills clearly has rigid planning rules. North Santa Monica Boulevard forms a sharp divide: to the south is typical downtown (Brit: city centre) building; to the north expensive housing typical of outer suburbs.

Randal Haworth

For some time I have been receiving e-mails from Ferrari Beverly Hills such as this one. The one asking "please share your thoughts on your new Ferrari California" was addressed to Randal Haworth so it did not take any detective effort to work out that they must be intended for Randal Digby Haworth, plastic surgeon of Beverly Hills (Wikipedia article). His e-mail address is RH

DRHaworth but Ferrari had left out the D so the e-mails come to me. Cheekily, I decided to drop in on him unannounced to tell him about the e-mail confusion. He was gracious enough to come into the reception area of his office, chat for a few minutes and be photographed with me.

2012-07-26 16:46:10 Fr:127972 Sq:26163510

There are at least three other plastic surgery clinics in the block at 436 North Bedford Drive.

Image is from this page - search for Haworth (obviously!). Randal Digby seems to go in for being photographed with people. Here he is with Tim Blum who runs the Blum and Poe Art Gallery in Los Angeles. The website on which I found this image seems to consist of nothing but people at receptions and the like. Then I found out that that is what Patrick McMullan does.

Image is from this page (again search for Haworth) of Randal with Ana Haworth, presumably his wife, seen in the Blum and Poe Gallery probably at the same event as the previous photo.
