Fort Bragg on a Foggy Night

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

You don't have to walk too far for things to look different. The street right outside your door presents a new world. Sound is muted. Light hangs in the air. Diffused by the tiny droplets it seems to be weighted down by gravity. You can almost see the arc as it is pulled to Earth. Parking lot by Sushi House

This is where I have been staying while in Fort Bragg.... The Columbi Motel. It's there on the right, I'm in unit two... They also have the laundromat just beyond the motel and the deli accross the street, right next to the Mexican restaraunt. That's right, everything you need within a 200 foot radius. It is a multi-generation family-run business. Clean, tidy rooms with free coffee for weekenders at the deli! 707-964-5773

Downtown Fort Bragg where Highway 1 masquerades as Main Street. The tattoo parlor's neon sign adds to the color palette as does the traffic signal.

Crepuscular House

Lit by spotlights, the shadows cast by the Guest House Museum create the effect of intersecting crepuscular rays. Don't they realize youy're supposed to take the flag in at night?

The suburbs of Fort Bragg are an easy walk from the hustle and bustle of downtown. A few short blocks and you are there.

Two Houses on a Foggy Night

Backlit by the glow from down town, these two houses serenely pass the night.

Some Humble Abodes
May 23, 2016
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.

And a Few More Pictures of San Francisco

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.

May & June get lumped together. Lots of packing. 56 years of house to deal with. Getting my replacements at Gryphon up and running.

April was an interesting month. Packing things up. A few shots testing a new Canon 100-400mm lens. Of course when packing things can get messy... I knocked over a pile of empty film reels. It looked so nice I just had to take a picture.

We all do it, some folks more than others. Perhaps your practice is utilitarian, maybe you are just following a whim, whaterver your purpose San Francisco is a great town to do it in. Even with all the hills, in fact the hills might make it better
San Francisco Skylines

If you listen carefully you can hear it.... Humphrey Bogart in his best film-noir voice-over.... "They call her San Francisco... City by the Bay. She's taken many hearts... Poor saps, they think they left left'm, but they were stolen, every one."
What Happened to July?
Aug 18, 2015
One of the nice things about July is that the ginger plant blooms. This is probably the last year I get to see this one do it. It's growing by the front door & some of the stalks reach 8-feet in height. This year there are about 16 stalks.
Where Do Tractors Go?
Apr 20, 2004
On American farms, the most important innovation of the last century is the tractor. From its introduction as a steam-powered behemoth, the tractor enabled a farmer to accomplish more work with less labor. The farmer was able to till and harvest larger sections of land.
