California: My Endless Summer

My summer, my nearly endless summer, started with a midnight pool party and is ending with one last day of packing my bags in Sacramento before making the move north to Portland. In these last three and a half months, I've not only traversed this country, flying to DC and making multiple stops in between, but I also traversed my great home state of California. This isn't all entirely urban (a small minority of it is truly urban, actually), but it starts with the Fourth of July festivities in my hometown and ends with one last trip to my second home of Aptos, just outside of Santa Cruz. This is my photothread tracking my endless summer, and I hope you all enjoy it (since I actually didn't do much urban photography this summer).

Some necessary and appropriate tunes, of course:

University takes me to Portland: I'm a Freshman at Portland State this year. Move in was today, actually, so I probably won't have time to grab some shots of my new city for a few days as I get my insane amount of stuff organized in such a small room. I already blew a fuse just by plugging in an outdated power strip.

Portland will give you a whole lot of new photo opportunities for the photo tennis thread.
