This lavender smelled great, it almost made me forget that I could also have wine at the great winery where I found this!
Skyline
Looking up at the Chicago skyline. Some great building here including the Trump Tower and the Wrigley Building. A few clouds in the sky and the reflection of the sun provide just enough contrast. I also like the way the top of the Wrigley reflection can be seen in the bottom of the Trump Tower.
Going Down?
These steps in the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse were old, creaky and didn’t really go anywhere, but the view from the top was cool!
Pink and White with a Side of Green
I loved the different colors at the farmers market, and I especially liked the way that these two different colors of radishes looked next to each other.
Yellow
This shot is pure yellow. I liked getting close for this one, it almost makes me forget exactly what I’m looking at.
The Grapes?
I’m not sure what was growing in this field, but I’m pretty sure they weren’t making wine with it this year. It did make the scene non-typical for a vineyard in Napa, and the blossoms really popped against the sky.
Fields of Green
There are plenty of crazy colors and delicious food items at the Farmer’s Market in San Francisco. I chose to zoom in on this bright green barley grass that was for sale.
Walk This Way
Climbing the cables on the way to the top of Halfdome in Yosemite can be a daunting experince. I normally do this 14 mile hike on the weekends when these cables on the final ascent can be very crowded. Recently I did it mid week, and the cables were relatively empty. This allowed me a great view of the cables themselves. This angle is close to the top where the slope in front of you isn’t as steep, but the roll off to the side makes you think twice about what you are doing.
Hello City
A piece of the San Francisco skyline. On a clear day from the Ferry Building in San Francisco, this is the view that you will see. The sky layered nicely with the different buildings as the spread out into the distance.
Towers and Trees
The Omni Hotel in San Diego is in a great location, close to the ocean and the gas lamp, and surrounded by signature palm trees. This angle allowed me to capture both the trees and the tower together.
