On a lamppost in downtown Vancouver. I think it speaks for itself.

Late afternoon at English Bay. You wouldn't know from the photo, but the beach was swarmed with people.

Private Waterfall

Las Vegas is a weird place. We stayed at the Wynn hotel where - in addition to the requisite pool there were two decorative waterfalls. Nice rooms, though.

The interior of Boa steakhouse in Caesar's Palace had some interesting decoration. The food was great, though.

View of the Las Vegas strip from Caesar's Palace. The light from Luxor is trying to catch the moon.

A San Francisco landmark, seen from the balcony of my new office building. Well, it's not "mine," but I do work there.

From the roof deck at work looking back on the office towers. I like the angle and the reflection. They don't actually meet.

Finally brought the camera to my new office - not a bad view, eh? From the roof deck, I can see Alcatraz, the ferry building, the Bay Bridge and treasure island. Being such a nice day helped, too.

Proof By Repitition


Proof By Repitition

Dug this out of the holding tank and cropped it (I'd been drinking and the photo wasn't quite straight). But kept the lighting, which I think adds a nice atmosphere. I like the way your eye is drawn inexorably to the center.

One from the Vault

This is from a walk I took a while back through the AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park.

And that saying, it is carved in stone.

For the ongoing series of benches; this one's outside the conservatory of flowers in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.

Happy 4th

Made it home in time to catch the end of San Francisco's fireworks display from the roof of the apartment complex. This image is actually a composite of two photos.

The Sky Was Red with Gunpowder

This one (like most of the ones I took) was blurry - from the wind, us bouncing around to stay warm, and my difficulty focusing. Still, it did capture the bright red glow.

These four photos came from an outdoor concert (The Diamonds - a 50s nostalgia act that puts on a pretty good show) in Rancho Murieta over the weekend. The dry beginning of summer evening provided some good light.
