I like technology and I like candy. Here is a heart that wants a tweet, how sweet is that? Happy (early) Valentine’s Day!
High Tech Hearts
Soft Corals
I live in Northern California where there are plenty of scuba diving opportunities available, only they all involve very cold water. When I go somewhere warm I try to dive whenever I can. With that in mind I made sure I took the short ferry ride from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel to get a day of diving in. I was rewarded with these beautiful soft corals.
Cenote Exit
This was the very first cenote a saw on my trip to Mexico. It just so happened to be on the property of some friends who live down there! I might have seen a few later on that were more photogenic, but this one left an impression on me and it is very unique. The bright light shining in from the entrance really contrasts with the dark deeper reaches of the cenote.
Cottage Inn
I couldn’t just drive by this old hotel in Lake Tahoe. It caught my eye. On one hand, it looks nice and cozy and well stocked with wood for the winter. On the other, it looks old fashioned and empty. I decided to extend the old fashioned look and take some artistic liberties with the processing of the photo. Hope you like it!
Top of Round Top
I had a great weekend. I spent one day back country skiing on a peak called Round Top in the Sierras with a great group of friends. I spent the next day skiing at a resort. There wasn’t much new snow which is uncharacteristic for this time of year around here, but the hike, view and overall experience were amazing. This was one of my favorite views from the hike. It was taken from the top of Round Top just before we began our descent. The true Kirkwood fans out there will recognize the backside of the resort in the right third of the image.
Mexican Transportation
I loved the look of this little car. The Volkswagen Thing, or as it is called in Mexico, the Safari. This particular example was popular with the locals as a cell phone charging station due to the fact it was always completely open. I was happy just to take some pictures.
Early Morning
I had time for a few quick photos on my way from the bus stop to one of my favorite sunrise locations, the bean in Millennium Park. This particular building with some morning traffic in front of it was worth the stop.
Not My Tracks
Not today anyway. The snow was too good where I was without hiking to go for these lines, but they sure did look pretty from down below.
Mexican Grocery
This could almost be a photo taken inside a grocery store anywhere in the world until you look more closely at the details.
Just Below the Clouds
This is my lucky 200th post! Why is it lucky? It is because if I’m lucky, by posting a picture of snow for such a milestone for my blog, I will get more snow in Tahoe! Happy 200th post to me!
This was taken on one of those amazing days at Squaw Valley. The cloud level kept rising and falling. Sometimes we were in the clouds, sometimes they were just above us and everything seemed perfectly clear.
