Calabasas City Walk
Discovering Sights Unseen
by
Devendra Mishra
DISCOVERING THE SIGHTS UNSEEN IN THE CITY OF CALABASAS, CA. The author created this photo book after being inspired by a slower pace of life brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020-2023. Walking daily with his beloved wife around the city of Calabasas—their home since 1986—he became conscious of the smallest petals and the tallest redwoods, feeling an especially strong bond with the Calabasas Lake, which he dubs his “Walden Pond.” The photographs themselves are bright and vivid, often so vivid as to be almost surreal; a reflection, maybe, of the larger-than-life celebrities who call Calabasas home. The author adds snippets of poetry and imagistic prose to highlight his experiences of walking the city he loves.
Devendra Mishra, a resident of Calabasas since 1986, has been a world traveler who loves to capture the beauty of nature, people and places. A former executive of the entertainment industry, he found teaching at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA, to be the second calling in life. Calabasas provides him with a peaceful and invigorating environment for the pursuit of bliss.
