Central Coast Adventures

I made a music video with a Delta-Blues audio sound layered over video of motorcycles and horses. Pismo beach and Northern California feature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV60xHiucuc

Here's a video with some Arabesque World-Music. All set to stunning video from Morocco to Jordan

I made a video with soothing ambient sounds like you might hear in a coffee shop. I matched the sounds with visual eye-candy such as would be acceptable in the corporate world. It's two hours long so people don't have to fiddle and change things a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln58FVvxT58

I made a video of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony mashing clips form many sources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb1Tw9XaSWs

I thought I'd make a video with just soft rain sounds for folks who like to have that 'white noise' effect. I set it to some nice nature video, and some nice architectural videos. But I had some technical issues and the audio would not export.... Finally I got it straightened out, and will make another few like this soon. It's 21 minutes long.... May your day and evening be nice and soothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB5lDOr_BiI

Here are some photographs I took the last week....

The tri-tip challenge is a hiking challenge to the top of Bishop peak which is here pictured where Larry is going to run up to. After that there is also the Madonna peak and the p at Cal poly campus on the campus there. After people have done all three they can go to Firestone grill and have a meal and get a t-shirt!

San Luis Obispo has a number of very nice neighborhood parks.

Hearst Castle is really something people should visit. it is only rarely open in the night-time. Mostly for the annual Christmas season when it is decorated with lights and holiday decorations. That tour is usually booked a couple of years in advance. Anyone who wants to see Hearst Castle in the evening should make their reservations today as these will be sure to be booked up quickly.

I lead wine tours when the occasion comes along. I suppose I've been to 150 to 200 wineries and vineyards around here..... we have 450 in our county alone, and nearly as many in nearby Santa Barbara county. This is the ONLY winery I've ever tasted wine at though! I was stopping along just visiting places, to learn what wines and locations and exotic foods they might offer... so I can share them with clients..... these folks and I had such a great time eating their jams and ch...atting as they toured me around the operation, that I logged off the clock and did some wine tasting of my own. Now, I've mentioned before that I'm not a wine drinker, or really a drinker at all ... so I have no refined palette or knowledge about the tastes of wines..... but each of these wines was so delightful that it was as though I could close my eyes and float to Heaven! Each sip was delicious... aromatic, intoxicating and full of delights. I've never 'enjoyed' wine before... I just drank it. I suppose this is the experience when 'tasting' wines. It's about the real pleasure of a superior product designed through thousands of years of experience into some pinnacle of refinement. I was filling out some forms right now and noticed the pen I am holding is one they gave me. So now, two years later I wish to give them accolades, as I remember a beautiful day with some premium wine tasting that I will always look and remember upon fondly.

This sounds like a good plan! The plentiful rains and warming/sunnier conditions have brought a profusion of blooms to The California Central Coast. Hit me up if ya wanna travel to some awesome spots south of Ragged Point.
