Eeny Meeny Miny Moe

I’m trying to pick out some of my old photos to print as a large poster for the wall of our apartment. The wall photo idea was not mine, but Chinomso’s. She lives in the building and had dropped by last week to say hi. She looked at the wall of our living room and said that something was missing. We should get a painting and hang it there, she said. Taking the idea from her, I suggested that I would print one of the photos I’ve taken in the past, get it printed as a large poster at Wal-mart, frame it, and hang it on the walls. Now, to choose from a whole lot of photos becomes a problem. Here are ten of my favourites. Please tell me which you think would look best on a cream yellow-coloured wall. How about you give me a list of your best three favourites, in order?

My California

Here’s to folks in (according to number of hits) San Bernadino, Monterey, Los Angeles, Antioch, Mountain View, Davies, San Francisco, San Jose, Goleta, Hesperia, Brentwood, San Marcos, Alameda, Milpitas, Thousand Oaks, Palo Alto, San Mateo, Marina Del Rey, Downey, Beaumont, Emeryville, and Lynwood in the state of California. Hi to you 🙂

I don’t have to say that if I leave the United States without showing up in that state, I would feel incomplete indeed. I heard it’s hot there in the southern part of the state. How true is that? Do you have winters? What about snow? What are the beaches like? Is it true that you have nude beaches? Are everyone allowed in there? Are those allowed in there allowed to wear dark shades (to protect their eyes from the sun, of course)? How often do you run into Hollywood stars when you walk down the street? How often do you see movie cameras around? Can you go out one day without seeing a movie being shot? Is the state all it’s touted to be, the most liberal place in the country?

Well, my regards to Governor Schwartzenegger, the actor with a long name and a big chest, and to you as well for being there. It’s not like you can help that anyway 😉
