la la land - part 3 - views

Views - as in "the view from here is fabulous" - not "in my view, you're full of it"

California, not that anyone needs reminding, is a beautiful spot. For my money, one of the most gorgeous pieces of real estate anywhere. I love the constant presence of the ocean and the mountain profiles on the horizon. The ocean moderates the temperature and when you're withing a few miles of a beach, it's never too hot. Cross the mountains and the heat increases but it's dry desert heat, nothing as oppressive as July in Southern Ontario.

But if talking about music is like dancing about architecture (I always thought that this was a Zappa quote - turns out it's actually Steve Martin or perhaps Elvis Costello??) - then talking about scenery is like strumming a tuba (WHA'?? )

Have a look at these pictures and see a rested George with wife and friends in the paradise of Southern California
