Went to shoot the sunset a few nights ago, here are some shots












































Click the picture for the bigger version (3456x2592). If it takes you to a picture not found error, try again in a bit as the big versions are still uploading. If the bigger versions appear too dark and red, it is a firefox problem. You won't see it if you save it to your computer.

Normally I'd have pictures from the paddle around the pier, but it was postponed till next year due to unsafe weather conditions. So here is a video of the surf that morning.

Without question, City Heights is the most diverse neighborhood in all of San Diego. It's here where you will find ethnic restaurants and businesses thriving. It might be a mostly poor area, but it's very rich in color and culture.

Most of these were taken along the main thoroughfares of El Cajon Blvd (ECB) and University Ave, in an area where I bet many county residents never knew exists.



The "other" Boulevard Sign spans over ECB


Ethnic businesses abound




Urban overload.....Viet, Mexican, Italian all next door to each other. Saigon is a favorite of mine and Etna's is open till 2:00am every night, and 3:00am on Friday and Sat!


Love this electrical box


Why go to McDonald's when there is a drive-thru Banh Mi joint? Another fave of mine...daily cooked baguettes for $1.00!!


......and let's not forget about the people who live here












Signs of gentrification




City Heights Library, where hearing English being spoken is rare.


Ok, back to the good stuff


The Euclid Tower has a been a neighborhood landmark since the early 1930's. It was gone for a few years but was recently rebuilt.....very cool. The Tower Bar is a hipster hangout that occupies the ground floor.


Some great art deco buildings that could use some TLC


Check out the Egyptian heads on this liquor store


Ornate Cambodian Temple




I'm guessing this neighboring residence is where the buddhist monks live? I saw a bunch of them outside but wasn't comfortable taking their picture.










Looking for that hard to find Cambodian/Khmer DVD or CD? I bet this place will have it. Khmer script is beautiful, isn't it?


Delicious 99cent fish tacos can be had at the Mariscos German Taco Truck. When I say truck, I mean truck!


Walking ice cream vendor




Why do the bad neighborhoods always have the coolest bars?


A diamond in the rough. El Cerrito is a mini-Kensington just to the north of City Heights. Some beautiful streets and old homes.










Back to the main drag




Defunct Ethiopian church












Fresh smoothies


A really good Lao restaurant








If you're not into Eritrean food....


...then try the Ethiopian place down the street










Hope you enjoyed the little trip around the world!

Did anyone happen to catch the amazing sunset a couple nights ago? I snapped this while driving thru City Heights and the way the Euclid Tower was backlit by the sky reminded me of being in Bangkok once again. I'm referring to Wat Arun if anyone knows what I'm talking about. Just beautiful.

Hey guys,

I'm going to be in town this weekend, and was wondering what were the dense, walkable areas to take pictures in? I especially love taking pictures of people and (stellar) architecture. Lastly, any neighborhoods that are particularly artsy or "hipster," that are worth checking out?

Here is some of my work: Flickr: KingoftheHill.'s Photostream (http://www.flickr.com/photos/15316475@N04/ - broken link)
