“Great Scott! Doc Brown’s Pasadena pad, The Gamble House, where Craftsman design met time travel. Built in 1908 by architects Greene & Greene for David and Mary Gamble (yes, of Procter & Gamble), it’s a living masterpiece of wood, light, and symmetry. ⏰🏠✨

Photos from a recent daytrip to Anacapa Island, the smallest of the Channel Islands, and the only island in the chain that uses an indigenous native name, anyapax, which means “mirage” or “illusion” in Chumash. Evidence found on the island once suggested the Chumash inhabited this island over 3000 years ago, but recent evidence suggest even longer, around 13,000 years ago, when the island was more accessible and the sea level much lower.

Comprised of volcanic rock from over 15 million years ago its steep cliffs make the island practically inaccessible. To reach the top of the island you must climb a short steep steel ladder from steps on the boat and then 157 man-made stairs to the top.

Once there, a small 2 mile network of mostly flat trails allow you to traverse and explore the island which is home to the largest breeding colony of western gulls in the world, along with a colony of endangered California brown Pelicans. (The constant squawking was giving Hitchcock “The Birds” vibes the entire time) Steep below, colonies of sea lions can be seen in rocky inlets along with views of giant kelp forests. Since it was spring, the island was verdant green with wildflowers and mostly native low laying grasses.

Visitors can still view the 1932 lighthouse, the last lighthouse built on the West Coast, along with a few other historical mission-revival buildings. The lighthouse still blows its foghorn every 20 seconds and a sign warns visitors to not get to close as it may damage hearing.

On the boat ride back, our terrific guides from @islandpackers sailed us past the famous 45 ft high Arch Rock and then proceeded to investigate maybe 4 humpback whales feeding nearby along with dozens of common dolphins and sea lions. And at the end of the journey, we were treated with the sight of being surrounded by hundreds of dolphins surfing the wake of the boat and they traveled with us for some time. Truly spectactular.

Los Angeles has been the home to many world-renowned architects who have shaped the architectural landscape into what it is today.

Architect John Parkinson is one of the first to introduce the Art Deco style in the United States. After visiting the 1925 Exposition of Decorative and Modern Arts in Paris, where the art deco and modern style were introduced, he decided to use this new aesthetic as the inspiration for the new department store project in Los Angeles. By 1929, he completed The Bullocks Wilshire, which is located in present-day Wilshire Center.

The development was intended to provide a totally immersive shopping experience when fashion wasn’t always ready-to-wear.
Once inside, shoppers could enjoy a “Choose Your Own Adventure” day. The experience would allow them to explore a combination of rooms: the tea room, gift room, salon, handkerchief department, mahogany dining hall, “Doggery” (a dog-friendly area), and the list goes on…

The Bullocks Wilshire building, the glamour of another era's rich and famous, is one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture that occupies a special place in Los Angeles history.
Today, it is home to Southwestern Law School.

Loved every minute of our stay on the Bay of Kotor in this lil stone villa! I could wake up everyday and jump into that clear water. 💦 The breakfast spread from our host who owned the restaurant below was a nice touch.👌
