While the buildings of Columbia are shades of grey and white with pops of brick, San Diego is filled with a range of colors and patterns. My friends and I traveled across the city by foot, cab, and bus. We went to Balboa Park and Old Town, where I captured some of the scenic places that help define the atmosphere of San Diego.
