This really was a super Sunday, no bowl required! Living close to Levi’s Stadium, home to this year’s Super Bowl, meant it was a good excuse to get out of town for the weekend and check out Big Sur. A sunset on Pfeiffer Beach with fewer people than usual was just the ticket for a relaxing Sunday.
This sunset was just crazy. I made quick work of getting from my house to this spot in order to capture it! I like the way the tracks disappear off into the center of the last remaining light.
I don’t always give my photos the black and white treatment, but when I do I make sure they are spooky like these trees. What made this hike unique was the mix of sun and fog. I didn’t take many pictures of the sun, but these trees in the fog caught my eye.
I bet someone used to love this bike, and now it has been taken on as a project. The owner of this shop was very proud of all of the antique bikes he had fixed up, including this old red Murray. It was made in 1959, and you won’t find a new one with this kind of style anymore.
This huge boulder has a pretty epic view of the Sierra. There’s no telling how many sunny days and storms this rock has seen in its time.
Trains used to scream through this tunnel. Now it looks like a better place for skating with the floor covered in ice and sharp icicles hanging from the ceiling.
I spent Christmas morning with my Dad watching this awesome sunrise. It was the only day that was supposed to be partly cloudy, and there was a light dusting of snow. A perfect moment to take in a sunrise over Lake Michigan!
This is a scenic stairway that comes with a price if you don’t pay attention. Crater Lake is beautiful, but if you don’t turn when the stairs do you may find yourself falling down to the water below.
It was almost time for dinner. Thankfully I wasn’t hungry yet and snuck in a few long exposure shots just after the sun went down and the sky still had the faintest light. A guest appearance by some light traffic added popping color.
The colors in the sky were great, but I wasn’t in a good spot to get a classic sunset photo. After getting over that disappointment, I found something better and decided to shoot these leaves that weren’t ready to fall off the tree and were a great way to add some silhouettes to the sunset.
