San Pedro

One day I decided Not to Go to school and take a day to appreciate a Place near where i live that i havent ever really appreciated much till this day. And i Brought a Very good friend along called Sara . I Had my Old Nissan so We had a way to get around so Part one of the mission was complete. Next was a Camera i didnt own one at the time because my previous one had broken and i was unable to repair it so i Borrowed one from a good friend of mine called Danny. so all of these pictures you see on this blog were thanks to his generosity. so we started the dy in Downtown Long Beach thats where i took some of the first shots of the day in another blog i focus more on long beach but this one for now is just to focus on the beautty of san pedro and what it has to offer.We started the day Going Over the Vincent St. Thomas Bridge and well this day was ideal for wonderful pictures involving the sky beacuse it was very foggy and gloomy and extra gloomy in a harbor city like san pedro pictures come out better than you would ever expect them to.So after Crossing the seies of bridges and getting lost to go to The Cabrillo Marine Aquarium We finally stumbled upon it but to our luck of course it was high tide so way to capture the critters living in the tide pools. but there was some very massive ways hitting onto the rocks that surrounded the shore of the cabrillo beach wich led to My friend being very curious and going out the edge just to frighten me. it didnt really i just did not want her to get wet beacuse she would not go in my car if she was wet :) but in the end going down there was not much of a let down really i got a couple amazing pictures that youll see coming up . I Also want to bring awareness of how dirty our beaches get after it rains from the drainge of the city and well it made me mad to see something such as gracefull as waves crashing turn to dirty muck and disgust of how much people polute so if your just reading this do your patrt dont throw stuff into the drain system it hurts our envirornment more than you know and well its not good for the marine life or ours.





























After going down to the Cabrillo Aquarium we decided to get back to Long Beach but We went on a adventure up to The Korean FriendShip Bell to overlook The city since its at the top of San Pedro. We THough It would be closed beacuse it was only 9 am at the time so we headed on up there and at this time there was no one out. everyone was either at schoool being responsible or working again being responsible. haha . but the korean bell was an amazing sight
it was my first time going up there let alone navigating through san pedro on my own but what we saw was a true beauty. Not The only was THe bell itself HUGE the whole outside part was great you can tell people took there time making this a great sight for whoever has the time to appreciate it. the colors used were great, along with all the pattern there was when you went out to the ledge the view was amazing. so ill let you observe some of the pictures taken there.
