Thread Name: BS: Balboa Park Jam
Subject: RE: BS: Balboa Park Jam
I well remember one day when it was overcast, in the fall, and I set out with a camera to take some mood shots of Balboa Park. Got some great ones, too!! One was the Old Globe, and many of the statuary. I loved that park and spent many happy hours with a guitar just sitting and singing for the birds, not really busking, but always money in the case. The San Diego area has many places where you just want to sit and play for Ma Nature. Another one of my favorites was at night, when the tide was coming in, on the south end of La Jolla Cove. You know.........where the waves hit and geyser up over the shore rocks. I also liked going to the top of Mount Soledad with a whistle, and playing "The Dawning of the Day" as the sun came up. I miss the area. But I will bet it is much more crowded since I left in 1976.
