As you saw when I commented on Marla's fine essay, I did a double take at first. The opening shots were quite similar to my eyes at least.

I found this fascinating and quite different than your previous essays. Somehow I was expecting to find the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency premises show up.

Thanks for surprising me each time we do this exercise.

I just scrolled through ubique's essay and haven't yet commented. Came to yours and found myself doing a double take. For me there are, at first glance, similarities between your essay and Paul's and yet, both are entirely unique.

Somehow, Paul's is less surprising than yours to me at least. We are so used to seeing the Hollywood California that somehow this disturbs the status quo. I enjoyed looking these images a lot and the find myself with lots of open questions. That's always a good thing in my opinion.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to see the Other California.
