Sunny California Pt. II

I have also taken some instagram photos, which I mostly took on the first day and actually DO have sunshine. They're a bit more tourist-y and idealised.

Sunny California

I'm in California on holiday at the moment. I've been staying in Venice this week, and am driving to San Bernardino tomorrow, and then to San Francisco.
The weather was perfect the first day, and has been overcast ever since. When it's overcast here it's super dark and everything looks dirty and dull from the pollution. So most of the photos I've taken are rather depressing looking, at least compared to how everything looked when it was sunny. It's a funny place, Venice, and the sense of it that I've gotten in the time I've been here suggests that the photos I've taken are perhaps quite apt. There aren't many tourists at this time of year, and there are a lot of odd characters and homeless people around. The buildings are mostly quite old and shabby, in a visually enjoyable kind of way, and there's the kind of vibe that seaside towns tend to have in winter.

I took some photos in a house my aunt bought recently. It was marvelously dirty and colourful, a combination I find hard to resist.
