We took the Pacific Surfliner (it’s an Amtrak train) from Solana Beach station to San Juan Capistrano (only about 1/3 of the San Diego – Los Angeles rail line shown below. The first picture shows the tracks at Solana Beach, then there is a map of San Juan Capistrano surroundings. The emu is from a petting zoo right there (the emu is not for petting, though). The southbound train was tardy, arriving 35 mins late, but was about 90% full. The reactors are from San Onofre Nuclear Power Generating Station. The starfish is from a tide pool on Solana Beach where there was a very low tide. The sun sunk into the Pacific Ocean at 4.44pm already! so it was time to go. And what looks like a lunar module from far away is a life guard station from closer up !
