Featured Lenses
Our favorite California travel lenses- descriptive, informative, and fun.
Here we will post the lenses that we feel best represent the area they describe. In order for your lens to be posted here it should give us some great insider information- something we won't get from the Chamber of Commerce or AAA. If your lens is just about selling stuff, forget it. We want to leave your lens knowing something we didn't know before.-

Traveling in California
And then there's the diversity of the people and culture. Just within LA itself you can hear just about every language on earth, a modern Babel- while 150 miles to the west you can find absolute solitude with no one to talk to except the occasional coyote or lizard.
Let's celebrate the diversity. Make a lens about your favorite places and people in California. Join our group and join the discussion. Above all, support, visit, rate each other's lenses and show the world what California (and Squidoo) are about!
