My apologies to professional photographers because these are mobile phone photos. I needed to capture latitude and longitude of the photographs for locating in Google Photos. When I paint, I study the light. I can recall the sun angle and position of the photo with mapping software.
The locations I visited belong to the coast or crest of California. Which has the most remarkable scenery. I have tried to capture photographs of scenes that I can paint later in studio. In a word, these are the best of my best vacation photographs. When my wife and I travel, we capture many pictures. Inspiration and reference come from these landscape photos and they will hopefully become paintings in watercolor at some point.
