In Sync at Panorama Park

During our recent visit to Bakersfield, I photographed a lot of people enjoying what Panorama Park has to offer. While I was editing the images from the trip, the 2 photos in this post were among my favorites. I analyzed them to see if there was a common denominator in these 2 particular photos.

Besides the fact that everyone in these photos look extremely happy to be there, everyone (including the fur person) was in sync with their companion.

Ornamental grass at Panorama Park, Bakersfield, California.

I’m not sure exactly what type of ornamental grass this is. It is one of many beautiful plants growing along the pathways at Panorama Park.

Panorama Park

We just returned from our annual trip to Bakersfield for Thanksgiving. Bakersfield is not usually thought of as a travel destination. But, through the years, I have become quite addicted to photographing Panorama Park. Because I return there each Thanksgiving, I know what to expect when I get there.

One subject there is always an abundance of are people exercising their dogs, which is one of my favorite subjects to photograph. Panorama Park is located on the bluffs, overlooking the oil fields, river and aqueduct. It also offers a great, wide-open back drop for photographs. Once I find the perfect spot, all I have to do is wait for my subjects to pass by.

I also had high hopes of capturing a great sunset like I did last year, but that didn’t pan out. Instead, I was presented with foggy conditions, which can also be very fun to work with.

The photo above is one of many photos I took during our daily walks on the bluffs this year.
