Needing to explore,
Cabrillo went the distance
and found a new world.

    I’ve never been to San Diego, but it’s one of my husband’s favorite places. I’m glad you show me these things with your photographs and poetry.

    A great senryu, but I’m almost more impressed with all the different prompts you covered with it.

    When I first saw this statue, I thought it was in San Pedro. We have a Cabrillo Park on the cliffs, a stretch of ocean called Cabrillo Beach, and the Cabrillo Marine Museum. And then I saw it is in San Diego. Do you know where this statue is located? I’ll look it up next time I’m there.

    Another grand accomplishment … meeting so many prompts with such few words and image … impressive!!

    The statue seems bemused, as he has seen the new land before – the viewers are perhaps in awe of what has already been seen. Why look at it again?

    You exploring certainly paid off. That is an awesome shot.

    It’s silly, I know, but it is a faux-pas to photograph someone with a projection behind them which appears to come out of the head…yet here is a statue in the same predicament!
