While Jeff and Linda were here we tried to take advantage of the sunny Sunday afternoons and take them to see God's awesome beauty in this country. While you see things that are amazingly beautiful (and a picture can never truly depict the depths that are really there), you also see things that are hysterical, scary (well, not as scary anymore because it is just common to see now.
About 15 minutes from our house there is a spot to pull over and you can see the ocean. I believe the altitude is about 3600 feet.
The depths in these valleys is
amazing.
At first sight it just looks like skyline, but it is the
ocean.
All in a few minutes you can go from breath taking ocean views to breath taking parts of the road is
MISSING!!
This is one of the scary sights that has become
pretty regular to us.
No joke! Sometimes I think the van
is just going to go ahead, flip, and roll
all the way down. This is one of those
scary things that I have still not become
accustomed to.
This is a typical real estate sign. FYI, the property for sale is basically a cliff.
I would not want to be in that house below the road
there. The road is caving in.
Typical housing. Brings a whole other light to
"close" neighbors.
And more road gone. And yes, we are driving right over
a hollow piece of asphalt.
I told you it was common.
Just a random picture that reminded me of home.
Just made me think of old farm homes. You do
not see very many homes that have character here.
We have seen lots and lots of
Catholic churches since moving here.
Some of the artistry is just amazing when
you look at how old they are and what
they had to do to accomplish building
them with the tools and materials they had
in the time they were built.
This church is completely made of sheets of metal.
