1. ““It is the province of the trial judge to determine whether' a proffered photograph of the scene of an accident involved in the litigation fairly depicts the location and surrounding objects which are pertinent to the issues involved in the case. In the absence of an apparent abuse of discretion, or an affirmative showing of prejudice, the order admitting or rejecting a photograph will not be disturbed on appeal. (Olson v. Meacham, 129 Cal.App. 670, 673 [ 19 P.2d 527 ] ; Hayes v. Emerson, 110 Cal.App. 470 [ 294 P. 765 ]; 32 C.J.S. p. 625, § 716; 10 Cal.Jur. p. 896, § 169.)””

2. ““ ‘One who parks his automobile upon the public traveled part of a highway is prima facie a violator of the law, and it is incumbent upon him to show affirmatively that it was necessary for him to so park it at that time and place. It is not the duty of a party injured in a collision under such circumstances to show that such parking was not necessary, but for the other party to bring himself within the exception provided by the statute.’ ””
