One of the many water towers in Sacramento. In the Midwest where I grew up these things look very different, but out here this shape seems to be the norm. I guess I can’t complain as I get my water. This one at sunset certainly had a presence, and I like the way a little light is perched at the top.
The veins in these falls leaves caught my eye while I was walking around looking for fall colors. I really like the green center of the leaf with the change of colors only toward the edge.
Actually, they are both pretty close to death, but one is certainly in better shape than the other. The opposite position of the two makes for a cool contrast.
The tomato, your nemesis and mine. Ok, maybe just mine. I have to admit I am not a fan of this fruit, but I found these colorful and interesting enough to put aside my personal prejudice and take this shot at the San Francisco Farmer’s Market. I hope you enjoy it, I have to look away now…
The bare trees in the winter against the constant shape of the buildings in the city. The trees may have leaves, may have snow, or may be just empty branches but the city skyline will always stay the same.
This old fence along a meadow in Tahoe has a perfect fall feeling to it. The colors weren’t at their peak but there was some nice contrast between the trees and the meadow.
These smudge pots in Napa are used to prevent front damage to the grapes. They burn diesel fuel when there is a chance of frost and create a smokey layer that protects the grapes from freezing. This lineup of smudge pots look like they have been around awhile, and maybe even used for BB gun target practice!
This is part of a huge fallen tree in Calaveras Big Trees State Park. This downed part of the tree had been chipped away with an ax to create a pretty cool pattern.
This is the trail that leads to Salt Creek Falls in Oregon. It was lightly raining on the day that I took this. It seemed as if there was a constant state of running water on this trail, and you can see that by the way the center of the trail is washed out. The positive side of all of the rain and water is that everything is bright green!
