The skiing at Whistler was just OK this year, but the views were excellent!
Light the Bridge
The western span of the Bay Bridge doesn’t always get the respect it deserves. Always in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge, sustaining earthquake damage, and generally being viewed as a mere form of transportation can’t make for an easy life. The Bay Lights changed all that, bringing the bridge to life every night for the last few years. After I learned the lights are coming down temporarily, I decided to post this recent night photo as a way to keep them around.
From the Air
The flight from San Jose to Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula was booked as a simple way to get from point A to point B. Views like this meant it could have just as easily been a sightseeing trip!
Kite Over Haystack
When I first got to Haystack Rock in Oregon I was disappointed there were so many people on the beach. I thought they would just get in my photo, but one person helped out and flew a kite to add some nice color to the sky.
Palms in the Night
Some fast moving clouds meant that I got to have some fun photographing these tall palm trees. The colors were crazy with the night sky and the different colors of light coming from houses nearby.
A Storm Rolls In
The weather can change quickly in Costa Rica. I only had a few minutes to capture the sky like this. Moments before it was completely overcast, and not long after it started raining and kept raining all night.
Two Snacks
Some people don’t find banana slugs very interesting, but I like the chance to practice my macro work. I watched this guy eat a leaf for awhile before noticing he wasn’t the only one having a snack. There is also some type of bug that looks to be biting the slug!
The Breakwater
Normally in December this view of the breakwater in Algoma, WI would be covered in ice and snow. On this particular day I liked the way the clouds almost look like they are clearing a path to the lighthouse.
Sleepy San Jose
Not San Jose, CA, but San Jose Costa Rica. Most people had gone to sleep, but a few cars were on the street to provide me with some light trails.
Water and Ice
Cold temps didn’t mean that much snow, but they did mean some interesting ice formed on this creek.
