::America's Finest City::

Located in the south-western most corner of the California, San Diego is considered the birthplace of the state. Portuguese explorer Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo landed in San Diego's Point Loma area in 1542, claiming the area for Spain. In 1972 former mayor Pete Wilson gave the city the nickname "America's Finest City." It has lived up to its name as a result of its world class beaches, ideal climate, and famous attractions such as the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld. Enjoy my hometown!

Great gallery, Sam!

Vivid color, well weighted compositons, well chosen places - all this makes an attractive gallery. The action shots and lights of cars on nightshots adds this gallery some spice :) and make it more dynamic.
Overall - great selection of images. My vote.

Thanks for your comments, Sam. These are beautiful! Great color and saturation. I love San Diego, especially the shoreline up around La Jolla Cove. And it sure beats Boston's weather! Spring in Boston pictures here: http://www.pbase.com/dellybean/boston
