On the Pacific Hwy-1 back from Camel, I found this man playing his guitar in the middle of no where. This was one of my favorite vista points that I would try to stop for a moment whenever I traveled on Hwy1 (stored on my GPS).

The scene was beautiful and the timing was perfect (sunset). His lovely song added a colorful flavor to the entire scene and I was extremely pleased to have met him at this location. Unfortunately, unlike videography, my photo couldn't capture that lovely sound flowing in the peaceful air of Hwy 1. Well, for the photo, may be it's appropriate to say "无声胜有声“。 Of course, I was more than willing to contribute a few bucks to his "money jar". Looking at the jar, it seemed like he did have some good reward there.

"What is that bird doing on my hat (or head??)..." The man was singing. It was so funny and entertaining. As I continued capture a few shots of his, his music continued to flow pleasantly in the air... Well, I was drawn into his music and the lovely scene until my wife rushed me to continue the road... You know, we were just about a few dozen miles down from Camel and still had a long way to drive. On the other hand, the sun was about to set within an hour.... Guess what, I was driving in the darkness along the dark scenic drive long before hitting San Luis Obispo.

Next time on that road, I will have one more thing to expect ... besides the sunset and the beautiful scene.

He had a dog (not in the photo), a chicken and a little chick... I forgot to ask his name and perhaps the names of his birds as well... I am posting this photos hoping someone here may know his name. Oh the names of his animals too.

Why is that bird jumping on my hat?

It was a beautiful day on this beautiful beach,

No longer could I be a quiet guest,
As I must move on for my photo quest.

Pail的这张人像无论光线,表情,背景都恰到好处! 小鸟加强了戏剧感.有机会和他聊聊再发掘点故事就更棒了!

老人沉醉的表情，让我们忘却了烦恼，NICE PIC
