We really live in a mountainous area. This photo was taken from Fremont Peak, which is in the Gabilan range. The mountain range across the valley is the Diablo range.
Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

A Penny-farthing
This week (June 20 to June 27), I will be posting photos that I took last Sunday in downtown San Juan Bautista.
That there bicycle skeleton leaning against the antique store is a penny-farthing. Sorry. I didn't take a really close look to see if it is an actual penny-farthing frame or a metal sculpture of the penny-farthing.
Penny-farthing. Sounds like a coin with a gas problem.

The San Juan Bautista Fiesta Rodeo Mural
This week (June 20 to June 27), I will be posting photos that I took last Sunday in downtown San Juan Bautista.
This fading mural sits in somebody's back yard. It depicts the San Juan Bautista Fiesta and Rodeo that used to take place every year since at least the early 1900s. The mural was done in the 1970s by artist Ernesto Valles, who also did the Hollister mural on Fifth Street.
Here's a closer look at a section of this San Juan mural.

Knock, Knock
This week (June 20 to June 27), I will be posting photos that I took last Sunday in downtown San Juan Bautista.
A fixture—a knocker, I believe—on the door of the Orient Express, the Chinese Restauarnt in town. The address is on Washington Street.

Heavy Metal Cock-a-Doodle-doo
This week (June 20 to June 27), I will be posting photos that I took last Sunday in downtown San Juan Bautista.
When is a chicken in San Juan Bautista not running wild?
When it is an item in a gift shop in that town.
