Where did you go?

Sorry for the lack of posts recently but I’m currently making my way to California for our honeymoon! The trip of a lifetime has finally begun, driving around California in a RV starting in San Francisco then heading to Yosemite National Park, through Mariposa Grove, down to Sequoia (obviously admiring all the mighty giant sequoias and stunning landscape on the way) then over to the coast and up through Big Sur (then it’s time for the Coastal Redwoods). Definitely won’t be a relaxing trip but one filled with adventure, open roads (on the wrong side) and huge trees!

Apart from the tree interest, I’ve always wanted to go to Yosemite after studying the work of the photographer Ansel Adams in my college days. Such an amazing photographer that seemed to capture the character and beauty of the area. He’s definitely worth a look, black & white and stunning. Just hope my camera skills will be enough to capture a small part of what he did.
