This water tower is visible from most parts of Camarillo. 
Look close at the top of the tower, you can see a lot of equipment up there.
At night, it blinks red light to warn airplanes because this tower is located right on the airplane route.  The funny thing is that this tower is painted in sky-blue paint.  This reminds me of typical cartoon clips.  Birds and airplanes can fly into this tower because it's camouflaged.

During the Christmas season, they put on the lights on the top of the tower Click Here for pictures of the tower with Christmas lights.

At Gateway Center Plaza in Ventura (Where Kohl's & Barns & Noble are located).
This must be a club of some sort.
I have seen another classic car club at Simi Valley at HomeTown Buffett. Click Here

From this creek, you can see 101 Freeway going over "The Grade" to Thousand Oaks.
When I was there to take pictures, I wasn't sure I was allowed to be there.

RadioShack at Camarillo Town Center is closing.
The entire store was on sale.
Of course, they have already stashed the good stuff away.
I couldn't find any spectacular savings.

There is another Radio Shack at Camarillo, on Arneill Road close to K-Mart.

Day 1: Monday May 8, 2006

This ever-famous clock at Old Town Camarillo had not been working for several months. The factory people were supposed to come fix the clock. I think they are finally working on it. I saw this development Monday morning around 8:30am

Day 2: Tuesday May 9, 2006

They put a little fence around the clock.  On lunch time, I saw two guys working on the clock with the big glasses off. When I came back with the camera (50 minutes later) those two men were on the ground. (I missed a good shot). What I noticed, was that the clock was about 20 minutes faster. I don't think this job is done.

Day 3: Wednesday May 10, 2006

They fixed the time. Now it's running about 2-3 minutes behind, which is pretty close. But, I hope they would adjust the time even further, so it will be super accurate.  We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Day 4 & 5 - Thursday / Friday

The clock is still running about 2 minutes behind.
Maybe my watch is fast?
Anyway, they still have the fence around the clock.

Day 15 - May 23, 2006 Tuesday - Job completed.
They have cleared everything around the clock. Clock is running 2-3 minutes late.
I am beginning to wonder if my clock is running faster.

Salzers at 101 Freeway and Victory, Ventura

I went to Ventura to meet a wedding photography prospect.
It was a good opportunity to finally photograph Salzers.
I dropped by on my way back.
I shot them at 1/40 & 1/50 second

PS. I booked that wedding. :)

The official name for this shopping center is "Shopping at the Rose"
Located at 101 Freeway and Rose, Oxnard California.
