When you can't go on a car holiday, you can go on picture holiday! In these interesting times, I take the opportunity to go through my picture gallery and share pictures that probably could never have been included in a post. Where are we going on a photo vacation today? To California! Join all sides of the California countryside - far from the highways, high-rises and Hollywood wannabies of the big cities.
California is the US state that I traveled the most, totaling over 2 months. The image pile from my travels is large and it is only a fraction of the images that I have shown here on Rucksack so far. Most of the photos are from the area north of Monterey and all the way up to the Oregon border. Inland, coast, forest and volcanoes. Not my best photos, but the photos that I think describe California best.
And you – that's over 80 pictures, so hang in there if it's slow to load!

You have really managed to capture the soul of California, and especially Northern California, with these absolutely stunning photos. Best place on earth. So many places I recognize and places I realize I missed and want to go to when possible again (if I googled correctly, some photos seem to be from Ferndale which I totally missed but looks absolutely amazing). Also curious as to where the picture of the wonderful pink house was taken?
I think you are absolutely right about Ferndale! However, I don't know all the places I've photographed, some places were so small that I forgot their names in the blink of an eye as we passed the "end-of-town" sign.
What is your favorite place north of San Fran?
Beautiful pictures from California!
Thank you very much Helena! Often go in and glance at your USA photos, there are so many delicious places to photograph in the USA - as long as you get out of the big cities.
So many nice pictures
Thank you, Ingela! Glad to hear from a USA fan like you! :)
Fantastic pictures! I love California, so beautiful in its parts. Highway one all the way baby!
Thank you! I love most things about California – everything but Los Angeles. But that's another story :)
But oh, just by looking at all your magical pictures, I feel like I got to go with you :)
It's so weird to think that California is off when I look at my pictures. Everything feels so close and so here-and-now. A little time capsule :)
Wow, these pictures are great! You're talented indeed! :)
Also, I've taken the highway one route from San Fransisco to San Diego, what a trip! :)
