California Sunset   [Explored! Thank you!]

Since I am from the Pacific Northwest, I suppose that I’m not supposed to like the state that is featured today, but I don’t really care about all that.  On this date in 1850, California became the thirty-first state admitted into the United States.  When I was growing up, Californians were emigrating to the Seattle-Tacoma area, and they were the ones blamed for the rising costs of homes and more.  I can remember there being genuine hate (my dad felt this way) against these Californians.  I can remember the prejudice that was so crazy that people from that state did their best to hide their state of origin.  It was ridiculous!  I don’t think this stigma exists any more, but I never had anything against Californians.  I wouldn’t live there (sorry, the traffic in the L.A. area is too much for me), but it a state with beautiful scenery as you can see from the photo above.
