The Education Building at UC Davis Medical Center. I’m sure a lot of work goes on in this building, but it looks like a pretty good place to get to work if you ask me!

This is the view from the hike up Granite Chief at Squaw Valley. This isn’t the typical spot at the top where you would take in the view of what you will ski down, but I liked the way these trees were windblown on the backside. The whole image has a very cold and snowy feel to it. We have been getting some fantastic early snow here the last few days and I’ve been dreaming of skiing, so I had to post a snow pic!

This beach near Cambria had some rocks with a pretty great view of the ocean. The breaking waves by these cool rocks kept me entertained with my camera for quite awhile!

Taken near Koh Phi Phi in Thailand. This guy just wanted to tie up to our boat for awhile and hang out. It wasn’t our boat, we just happened to be in the same place at the same time. I do have to admit, it was certianly more colorful than the boat we were on.

This shot is taken from behind one of the many waterfalls in Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. It was a beautiful day, and walking behind this waterfall made a wet Oregon day even wetter. It was worth it for the view!

The leaves are starting to fall off of the trees and soon they will all look like this. I liked the way the outer trees framed this shot, and some smaller trees in the middle let the sun just poke through.

A circle of rocks, as seen from the top of Halfdome in Yosemite, CA. The hike up was grueling, and the view at the end was awesome. Someone else had decided to commemorate their hike by making this design out of rocks they had found. I took the opportunity to capture it.

The colorful ribbons on the front of longtail boats in Thailand are to protect the boat and it’s passengers and ensure a save voyage.  My trip was safe and the voyage was amazing.  This line up of boats was on the islands of Koh Phi Phi.  The water was perfectly clear and the beach itself was just pristine!

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.

At the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco I scared this pigeon at the right time to get him taking off over the water.
