Thanks Steve. I appreciate your feedback. As you rightly pointed out I am a visitor to your country - was with General Motors Ohio as an Engineer in the late 1970s - so I just pointed out the unique look of buildings in California - and not beauty per se. If you look closely at photo 5 (# 7538) you will notice the tall & thin statues of a man and woman to the bottom behind the motorcycle. It is this which first attracted me. Alpine style architecture yes as pointed out by you Photo 6 (# 7541) as I saw was very similar to housing complexes in Spain and the UAE (Middle East) - concrete / brick building with carved wooden balconies - very expensive high class living right off the historical main road El Camino Real. Photos 1&2 (#s 7523, 7524) - the wall paintings attracted me on the old building reminiscent of 1920s California. There is a huge court yard 1920s style with colonial wooden benches and tall trees leading to the Century Cinema Hall, another ancient building. There are 7-star eateries around the court yard. Only a video can capture the beauty of the place. The day was rather brooding - stark and cloudy - see the listless sky. Thanks once again for looking at the posts. Regards. Bipin.
