Running Down The Coast

So I decided to take Highway One South from Mendocino to San Francisco It turned out to be a lovely day...

The Basic Shot

Blue sky, blue ocean and a triangle of land at the left. The sun it still at a low angle here.

Point Arena is a broad point and in the triangle of it's area there is some verdant farms.

A lot of the Northern California coastline is pretty abrupt and the distance can be confusing... some of the bluffs are hundreds of feet tall and you really don't realize it until you either walk over to the edge or look back from a few miles further on

Really big. From the ocean all of the way up to the sky! Giant shards... They probably don't looks so huge in the picture, but the rectagular-ish one is over 100 feet... it may not be Half-dome, but it sure isn't sand.

Fence to a Fence to a Fence

I dunno... I just liked these fences.

Shed

An old, rundown Shed that's cultivating some lichen.

An isolated farmhouse with a view

Rocks in the Ocean

This is looking North to Bolinas... it you turn around you can see all of the way to Sutro Tower in San Francisco... but it was a hazy day so I won't include that picture here.

Yes, I went to that spot and took this picture of San Francisco.... Again. But this is on a different day, right? While I was at play, there was a fellow setting up a large format camera to take the same picture. it was a beautiful day to find something to do outside.

Some random shots from the past year. The Hayfield is a nice, tidy, decently maintained motel to look at.
Wildlands of San Francisco
May 26, 2016
It is all around us and it is relentless. Right now it is working at destroying our homes and cities. While we sleep at night it is tirelessly toiling away. Overcoming everything we know. Everything we have made. Everything we will ever do. There is no escape. We are in a symbiotic relationship with it. We love it deeply and without it we will die. Yet in the long run, our species will be gone and it will overrun this world until all life is gone and there is nothing left but a burnt ember orbiting the Sun.
Some Humble Abodes

There are uncounted scads of really nice Victorian houses in San Francisco and if I was to take pictures of the best of them I couldn't afford the film... er... hard drive space. Besides, San Francisco has many more syles of houses beyond Victorians. This a selection of a few that I have shot in the past month or so.

The fog rolls in.. It is late on a late spring night. Nothing on TV. There never is. Grab the camera & tripod... it's time to take a walk.

There are always a few left-over pictures that don't seem to fit in with any article.. I'll throw in a Batch of San Francisco images here. these are shot in all sections of the city, and are not displayed in any particular order.
California's Lost Coast
May 07, 2016
There is an area of California known as the Lost Coast. Somewhere north of Fort Bragg, south of Ferndale and west of highway 101. There are a few ways to get there but fewer people who will tell you how. Some places you can drive to, much of it is accessable only by foot if at all. It is one of the remaining places that Sasquatch can run free.
What are you going to do in San Francisco anyhow?
Dec 28, 2015
I like San Francisco. I always have. For my first job I was a driver for a water lab. Every morning I had to drive from Redwood City to Marin (through San Francisco, of course). I had all morning to do the drive plus my lunch hour. I would often spend my lunch hour picking a new route through the city. Way too much fun to be paid for, but i took the money anyway. Now I had the opportunity to spend all day every day in the city.
