Izak in Avalon (Catalina Island) - RS Gang

Xposted at JS:

So we finally made it to Avalon, the village on Catalina Island, a day late. The sun came out an all was well.
Notice all the beautiful tilework- that's because Catalina has a wonderful red clay, and Catalina Ware was one of the early California Pottery brands (like Bauer pottery, fiesta ware, McCoy, etc.). Every commercial building on the island has these lovely tiles set into it.

The harbor with the famous Avalon Ballroom Casino in the background. It isn't a "casino" like you think of with gambling, drinking, etc. The word means "meeting place"- it was a ballroom for dancing.

It looks like such a lovely day for a handsome fella to be out walking. I like the shots with the sea in it.

It's just a matter of camera angle. He is 62 cm tall (24.6 inches). I know that when a lot of people who have seen my photos or my book see the dolls in real life they are surprised that they are so small. One lady said that she had seen pictures of my "life sized dolls" but had never seen the little ones, lol.
