[US] California,San Diego,Soledad Mountain

吃完晚飯,雖然比預期晚了一點,但還有一點天光,決定按照預定行程,前往索拉達山(Soledad Mountain)等夕陽,與欣賞聖地牙哥夜景。
When finish the dinner at the Fish Market, it's still not the time to go back to the hostel. It's California in summer, so it's still day time around 8 o'clock. So we drove to Soledad Mountain to wait the sun goes down for the night view of San Diego.





到了山頂,四周逛了一圈,很明顯是在紀念某場戰役的犧牲軍人,回來查了資料才知是紀念韓戰。雖然這不是來此的重點,不過我覺得整體的設計很簡單,有種簡潔的美。
The mountaintop is the site of the Mount Soledad cross, and it was designated a Korean War memorial. Even though, I think it's simple and clean. It's beautiful.





在面海側,可以看到的是La Jolla,我覺得海岸線的弧度很美,遠方有霧氣籠罩,近端華燈初上,真的很漂亮!
Face to ocean side, it's La Jolla where we spent the whole day there today. I like the atmosphere and also the landscape I can see from here. The bay is gorgeous.




另一側便是聖地牙哥,很幸運地,在拍第二張照片時,停車場的車子正好離開,車尾燈就成了照片上的星芒,也算是無意中的特殊效果,呵~
稍微有點可惜的是,我們沒有在更早的時候先來一趟,這樣或許可以認認聖地牙哥一些比較特殊的建築,等晚上再來看看它打光之後的樣子,應該會有另一種樂趣!
The other side is the landscape of San Diego. I'm lucky that there is a car leaving while taking the photo, so I can get the star effect on the photo. It's a little pity that we didn't come here at the day time. If so, maybe we can recognize some famous buildings and then observe how it looks like in the night time.

PS. Google到了一個有趣的連結,索拉達山正好就是蘇斯博士最後居住的地點,白天剛去看過紀念他的蓋澤爾圖書館,晚上則是來到了他的故居,雖然我不知他的故居是否有開放讓人參觀,我猜是沒有,資料上寫其遺孀仍居住在此。

PS. I found an interesting coincidence, the Soledad Mountain is the last home of Dr. Seuss. And we just went to the Geisel Library in the day time which is named for him.
