That was my third visit to California, and I seem to see a little more every time. First time was just Bakersfield, and I was not impressed. Second time I made it down to LA and Malibu and the Pacific Coast Highway, and that was much better. Then this time north to the lower bit of Sequoia and some mountains, and that was awesome. There certainly is a variety of environments even in just the southern part of the state, I must say!

Unfortunately most of the buildings at that museum aren't really accessible--if you can go inside at all, you're mostly looking at the rooms themselves through plate glass. The schoolhouse and pharmacy and courtroom would indeed make for some amazing portraits, but to get those shots I was pressing my lens up against big sheets of glass to avoid reflections. :/

Oh, and thanks! :)
