Taken a few summers back at Santa Cruz while we were heading back to our camp spot. The air was getting colder, so my friends and I spent the rest of the night roasting marshmallows.

Jungle in Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve, United States

  46 km from Gilroy


On a sweltering 100 degree day in California, I took to the creek. I read and watched tiny fish swim underneath me and listened to the forest ambiance. After a few hours of silence I heard a tiny rustling on the bank just next to me and turned around– and it was a RATTLESNAKE! A large rattlesnake had come out of the woods to take a drink.

Now merely a shadow of its former self, the Ghost Tree, is a point of interest on the 17 Mile Drive inside the gated community of Pebble Beach. Offering one of the most scenic car drives in the United States, you’ll stop at the map’s designated location to view and photograph a bleached white Monterey Cypress.

Road trip in Garrapata State Park, United States

  69 km from Gilroy


Driving down the famous highway 1 with my family, I suddenly saw this coming into view in the distance. Once parked safely, I waited until there were no cars on the horizon (or coming from behind!) Although it took a few minutes to get the car situation just right, I was very lucky to have the rising sun shine over the green hills of California. What a place!

travelers stories about Cliff in Bixby Creek Bridge, United States

Cliff in Bixby Creek Bridge, United States

  77 km from Gilroy


I went for a drive towards the sea bridge in Big Sur. Needless to say, as always happens. the weather was ‘not co-operating’. Cloud banks continually rolled over-head, and what we thought was going to be a nice summer day turned out to be, well, less then stellar. Once we got the bridge, we stopped to survey the view, and enjoy what we could. I’m so grateful that we did, because less then 5 minutes later, the skies opened up just enough to get a few frames off. This is one of those, and one of my favourites.

As we drove up the west coast on Hwy 1 in the midst of our 10,000 Mile roadtrip around the country, we came across Bixby Creek Bridge, an incredibly beautiful bridge with an even more beautiful backdrop

If you go to California 100% go to Big Sur on the Pacific coast highway. Amazing sights, stops and overlooks at every corner and turn. More videos and pictures to come. Go on my YouTube and check out my newest video in santa cruise and SF. Big Sur video will be out soon along with my yearly video

Finally found the Bixby Creek Bridge. Right after I took this photo I slipped from my perch and almost fell all the way down. Luckily I caught a branch. I got a nice cut on my arm that added to the flair.

Cliff in 18269 Cabrillo Hwy S, United States

  82 km from Gilroy


I’ve been visiting this part of the California coastline since before I can remember. Every year my parents would take my siblings and I camping in the redwoods just a few miles away from this very stretch of Hwy 1. I still come back to this place whenever I get a chance, it’s just too beautiful and too full of fond memories to stay away for long. This morning was my first time visiting with a drone, and it was an incredible experience getting to see this place that I love from a new perspective

Bridge in Big Sur, United States

  84 km from Gilroy


I took this shot while on a 3 day road trip with some friends through California’s Big Sur. On the last day I decided to get up a little earlier everyone and go exploring. I found this wonderful little creek in a small forest off of Highway 1 and thought it would be perfect for some aerial photography. These days I never travel anywhere without my drone. Being able to shoot from any angle, at any height, from any distance has been the single biggest game changer in all my years taking photos.

travelers stories about Forest in Big Sur, United States

Forest in Big Sur, United States

  84 km from Gilroy


We started off full of energy on our backpacking trip. Dasha the labrador bursting with excitement, running up and down the trail. We hiked up and down and up and down the huge rolling green coastal mountains that are iconic to central California. We trekked through thick forests and crossed icy rivers that were waist deep. Dasha was no longer dancing, she was chugging and I had to take the weight off her dog-pack and carry it in mine. A couple hours before sunset, we found a perfect spot by the water to set up camp. Together we spent the rest of the afternoon chilling with the trees.

A pit stop along the scenic drive of the California coast. This picture with the fog, the waves, the sand, as well as the colors really come together and create this image for what it is.

I took this photo while searching for the Bixby Creek Bridge the first time I visited Big Sur. I thought we had stopped at the right bridge and got all set up when I realized that it wasn’t. I took this photo anyway.

I watched as this couple passed along this hidden gem of a beach in California. The red sunset with the red flowers in the foreground help give a sense of romance to this photo that some might not pickup on at first glance.

Beach in Gray Whale Cove State Beach, United States

  106 km from Gilroy


This photo is a photo of first’s for me. It was my first time visiting the US, travelling alone and using my first ever DSLR camera. It was the first time I witnessed strong, crashing waves and titanic rock structures. I was absolutely mesmerized by the sight of the splashing water and chilled to the bone by the cold sea breeze. I will forever remember how intimidating it was to try and capture all of this beauty through a small lens, and I can honestly say that this photo did not do it justice.

travelers stories about Suspension bridge in San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, United States

Suspension bridge in San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, United States

  116 km from Gilroy


I was over the moon to finally get out and fly the drone on a night with very little wind. I’d been waiting weeks for this shot to finally have some potential… and I was over the moon at the resulting trails. Initially I thought it may have been inevitable that the bridge was slightly out of focus… however the focus point stayed tack sharp throughout the 8 second exposure.

A unique view of what used to be the tallest building in San Francisco (eclipsed by the new Salesforce Tower in 2018). The Transamerica Pyramid is still a prominent figure on the skyline and a must-see if you visit the city.

Hill in Christmas Tree Point, United States

  116 km from Gilroy


Was staying at an airbnb on twin peaks. I thought the view from my room was fantastic, but then I happened to walk to this place called Christmas Tree point and was just mesmerised. Ended up trekking there again the next day and even record a full sunrise video . This perhaps is one of the most underrated places in SF. I am not really a photographer and have relied on unsplash community for great photographs…I thought this might be my chance to give back and share this beauty with the larger community.

I’m quite happy I managed to get this iconic shot of the San Francisco cable cars… not just one but two! This is on the corner of Powell St and Bush St. I took the cable car all the way down to Market St and I must say the views you get along the way are well worth the $7 price tag on this trip.
