Collaborative travel journal for lovers of the American West! (page 24 of 41)

..at Yant Flat...

..and at CBS.

good evening! 🙂 It's harder to find stripes like these!! I’ve used this one before too, but I just love these protected passages in SF’s gay district.

Martin’s Teeth in Seligman Another one from Antelope Canyon

Factory Butte between Moab and Torrey Have a great weekend, everyone! Martine 🙂

I love these protected alleyways in SF’s gay district so much

We’ve got almost the same thing in Paris...

I'm continuing... Recognize these? The cable car tracks in San Francisco...

And then, look, stripes here too, right?

... but I’ve still got more!!!!

oh yeah, stripes! :-)

Mammoth



Valley of Fire



New Wave (Wild West Land)

Rayures Mobiles

Vegetation stripes (Kolob Plateau, above Zion)

And I haven’t said my last word yet! 😄

One last little post for the road!

In San Francisco

Hello,

I’m offering the colorful stripes of our balloon in Moab. Vertical or horizontal stripes—what’s the difference?



Happy travels

Hi there, another one:

the "45th parallel" marked by power lines in Salem, Oregon, just after the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017.



Happy travels

Hi! It's funny, the 45th parallel passes very close to my house in Dordogne, but there's nothing to mark it. Except for a small monument on a hiking trail. I should mention it to the local tourist offices. Anyway, here's a low-quality photo (I had a small point-and-shoot camera), but I'm sure everyone recognizes this kind of stripes. I think there are plenty of people on the forum who must have better and higher-quality ones (calling all contributors!)

Skyline of cities at night, a little off the beaten path in the West but still in the USA 😏 A city I loved, visited in 2011 during my first solo road trip: Chicago





Back in the West with a view of LA in 2014 from Griffith Observatory, where you can see the vastness of this city



Back in SF in 2014, with the other bridge in this city, the Bay Bridge, seen from Coit Tower early in the morning

I won’t revisit your "clandestine" Chicago photos... that might encourage more detours through the West... and this already packed journal would turn into a journal for lovers of the USA, then why not North America, then why not the entire American continent... Yikes! On the other hand, I’d be totally up for a collaborative journal about American cities, but as my grandma used to say, "don’t chase too many rabbits at once." Maybe an idea for a new journal once this one has slowed down a bit?

But back to the West—here’s a mix of stripes, lines, and nighttime crowds in Las Vegas, to follow in your footsteps (night) and Bleuvacances’ (Las Vegas)...







Okay, I didn’t like Vegas, even though I’m glad I went. I feel like I missed the point of the city. It reminded me of a giant fairground where people force themselves to have fun and get dizzy.

A few more scratches to add to the theme. In VoF: In Edmaier's Secret: At sunrise in BC:

For these last scratches, I’ll say bravo in advance to whoever figures out where the shot was taken:

Hi Fabienne,

Still in Nevada, stripes that remind me of old post-war jukeboxes.

To keep the VOF vibe going: Stripped Rock

Hi Fabienne, you can check out the photos from my American West trip on Facebook under the name Marcel Coant. It's public. Thanks

NEW CHALLENGE BELOW... which should keep us busy for a few days, playing ping-pong!

For these last shots, I say bravo in advance to whoever figures out where this photo was taken:

The Deauville boardwalk seen from below? Not cool, Pascal, we said the American West!!! Okay, I’ll send you a few more shots, then I think we might have covered it all... I’ll suggest a new challenge...



So, what’s this new challenge? We’ve barely explored the cities so far... And yet, the American West isn’t just national parks and stunning landscapes...How about we create a little urban mosaic? Go for it, no limits: street art if you’re into it, architectural perspectives, bridges....

GO!
