Sketches from my trip down to the San Dieguito Wetlands.
What, non-fanart from me?!
Anyway, last Friday I took a trip with the other interns down to the San Dieguito Wetlands restoration project down in Del Mar/San Diego.
Cool stuff man! I am glad I brought my trusty DS + Colors along for the ride.
Top is a view of the large saltwater basin.
2nd down is the (rich!) houses of Del Mar, stupidly built on sandspit...
3rd down is a view of the Wheeler North restoration kelp reef (haha, it is that darkish blob on the water).
Last is some random bit of SoCal industrial park that I passed riding the MetroLink.
(I have to say, these looked better on the teensy DS screen, but ah well. It's the speed-paint practice that counts.)
Anyway, 'twas an enlightening day for me. Helped me remember why I wanted to be an environmental engineer and all that jazz, something I lost sight of this past year through all my numerous early life crises and school-stress.
I really love the natural landscapes of Southern California. Yeah, it's dry and dessicated and brown, but powerfully so. I like stark things like rock and coast and grass sun-dried to gold. :)
