Over the Moon

Once I heard there would be a Lunar Eclipse I knew I would be staying up late to both watch and photograph it. This is actually the first time I have experienced a lunar eclipse from start to end. The words amazing, beautiful and grand just don't completely encompass how mesmerizing the view was, all taken from our balcony and a 300mm lens. I am truly amazed at God's work, his creation in this galaxy. He created and planned everything to the milli-second and just to know we get to see this with our human eyes is awe-inspiring. The moon, 238,900 miles away, just completely had me all giddy and over the moon as I watched it put on a show for us here on Earth.

Until next time...thank you for stopping by!

Positive Monday: New Day

Downtown Los Angeles, Angels Point by KaLu

There are two kinds of faiths, natural and spiritual. Our natural faith knows that when the sun sets in the evening the sun will rise once again in a couple of hours. Along with a sunrise comes hope that tomorrow will be a better day and it is up to us to make it better. That hope is fed by our spiritual faith. Always know that "our faith can move mountains" - Matthew 17:20. Have Faith that things will work out, maybe not how you planned but how it's meant to be.

Echo Park Lake

 

 

Whether its morning, afternoon or evening…sun, rain or wind we Southern Californians enjoy walks through the park. And now that summer is finally in full-swing we find ways of staying fresh as we begin to hit high 80’s to 90’s. Today I wanted to share with you a park that brings back many childhood memories. Built in the 1860s as a reservoir for drinking water, Echo Park Lake is an iconic landmark just a few miles from Downtown Los Angeles and right behind the hills of Dodger Stadium. After a two-year rehabilitation project the park is now open to the public. When in town come and visit. I know for a fact that the Echo Park community is waiting for the annual Lotus Festival. Meanwhile, I am waiting for them to open that little station with those colorful rowboats so I can go right under the fountain.

Thank you for stopping by!

Sunset, Clouds and a Mountain

Elysian Park (Los Angeles, CA)

Nature and its majestic beauty! There are times when I snap random photos and I end up deleting them, they just lack a story. Now this one makes so happy because I was able to capture this perfect setting. Taken from the second floor of my aunts apartment we can see the sun setting on the west as many cumulous clouds gather above the Elysian Park Mountains.

"Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad" -Psalms 96:11 

Happy Tuesday!

Souther California: Places to Visit

Photoshoots are always enjoyable because they are premeditated visions that come to life, and the outcome feeling is ‘oh so rewarding.’ However, the random photographs that we (at KaLu) take of the places we visit, allows us to capture the essence of why we decided to visit in the first place. Today I am showing you a few landmarks and cities I would encourage you to visit if you live or are visiting Southern California.
