I like photographing trees. If I can get something interesting like this sunset in the background, all the better.

Mount Yotei located by Niseko Japan. I was here on a ski trip to enjoy the very light powder with friends, and this view of the long dormant volcano every morning was a great way to start the day.

An ongoing construction project for Sutter Hospital in Sacramento was the inspiration for this photo. I drive past these cranes every day, and wanted to make a night shot incorporating them. I waited until they were lined up and found a vantage point nearby to take this long exposure. I dig the way it shows the city at night.

The Varsity Theater in Ashland Oregon. I was just going to continue strolling on by, but a perfect scene of theater goers in front of this old building made for a nice photo!

This tree was just starting to leaf out. All the better to see the sunset I say.

A pleasant slope with some windswept powder available for the taking. All you have to do is jump in and poach that line.

There was a brief time tonight when the sky just lit up. I ran out with my camera to a park and found some trees to add to the foreground. This is the result. The trees are just starting to bud out here, so you can still see through the branches to the beautiful clouds behind them.

Sometimes even the buses have to turn around and go back to where they came from. Such is the purpose of these wires in San Francisco. They provide electricity to the buses, and this is the end of one particular route, so the bus makes a u-turn and follows the wires back. I liked the way the center of the U stood out against the sunset that was just starting to happen.

A scooter races by the bright lights of Soi Cowboy in Bangkok at night. We made our trip though this street short, but not before I had time to get some pictures of the neon lights and scooters racing everywhere.

Taken at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand. I really loved the crazy colors on these statues. Getting a shot of them from below let me show off their intricate colored tiles against the gold temple and blue sky.
