I'm still digging through my archive & backlog. Here are a few very sunny & clearskied impressions from a desert hike in February 2021. The landscape is too fascinating to NOT make photos of it! www.alex-kunz.com/desert-days-... #Desert #PhotoBlog #LandscapePhotography #SouthernCalifornia #Sunny

Ellen Browning-Scripps Overlook at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve in San Diego, California. The sandstone bluffs and coastal chaparral are simply better under overcast skies. :) alexander-kunz.pixels.com/featured/ell... #LandscapePhotography #SanDiego #TorreyPines #California #WestCoast

Since we’re opening up old, abandoned prisons, here’s another one we can recycle. Eastern State Penitentiary just needs a light dusting and should be good to go, right? The last shot is Al Capone’s cell. Yeah, he got a bit of preferential treatment! #photography #on1pics #photographersunited

SAN DIEGO: We had our "trash fee notice" in the mail today. Why does the city need to employ a ton of new people (eligible for pension) for trash service? Please oppose this tone-deaf implementation. Send in your protest note. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/04/24/c... #SanDiego #Trash #Protest

Today we celebrate Earth Day. Sadly, nature has never been more imperiled as myopic leaders in the US gleefully dismantle needed protections buffering against the greed driven destruction of our environment and, in turn, our physical and mental health. Please remember to vote the environment!
