I hiked the South Fork of Silver Creek in the Sierras today, and of course my camera was along for the ride. The water is high right now due to the huge amount of snow we have from last winter. This section of descending pools is called the teacups. The rushing water wasn’t very tea like, but if I try hard enough I can visualize layers of little teacups spilling into one another.
I can’t say I’m a connoisseur of jug wine, but this stuff at Preston Vineyards wasn’t half bad. Not good enough to buy a jug, but not bad.
This wide angle shot makes it feel as if the scene is slowly slipping away, all the way to the Capitol in the distance.
Rusty detail of the railing of the Longfellow Bridge in Boston, MA.
I ran by this exact spot about 20 minutes earlier, and the sun was sitting just below the lowest of the wires perfectly behind the clouds. By the time I ran back and got my camera, it had fallen below the trees. At first I was disappointed, but I like the way the tree blocks the direct light of the sun.
The Ray and Maria Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I was in the area and knew I had to photograph this building. The challenge with anything that is well photographed is to do something different. I’m probably not the only person to take this angle, but I wanted to focus on looking up at this crazy building, and made a jagged overhang the foreground of the shot.
Apparently this tree wasn’t getting enough water, it had to reach out a bit into the Truckee River for a drink!
Massive is probably an understatement for this old stump. It is very very large, and the way all the old roots stick up in the air is pretty dramatic.
A nice view and a great walk down. Heading back up was a bit more work.
The crazy colors and lights in the lobby of Compuware Headquarters in Detroit looked more like the inside of a kaleidoscope to me!
