I’ve driven through the tunnel on Yerba Buena Island many times, but never stopped to check it out. When I finally did, I learned there really isn’t that much there except a lot of “No Trespassing” signs and abandoned buildings. I did find this vantage point in a precarious spot overlooking the Bay Bridge. It wasn’t easy to hang out there very long, but the view of San Francisco was worth it!
I’m not sure exactly where I was flying over, but I knew there was a sunrise and that I needed to capture it.
I saw a massive moon rising over the highway on my way home recently. Of course, I didn’t have my camera with me. By the time I got back to this spot, the moon had risen further and become smaller in the sky. The sun continued to set behind me, so the sky did become more colorful. Overall I like the lights of the traffic, the sky, and of course the way the moon turned out!
…in San Francisco. Probably somewhere by this intersection. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I always love the way the wires for the electric buses criss-cross over the intersections in this city.
A big old tree, and a colorful sunset over Grass Valley California.
The roof of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco is something you must see, assuming you like seeing what vegetation would be living here if the building wasn’t here. It also has a unique automatic ventilation system, and a video camera to provide some security from hoodlums.
This wide angle shot makes it feel as if the scene is slowly slipping away, all the way to the Capitol in the distance.
A nice view and a great walk down. Heading back up was a bit more work.
The gold and white lights really accentuate the curves of this tunnel!
The farmer’s market in Sacramento is a great place to get all kinds of food, and it is also an excellent place to people watch. I like the way the location under the highway adds some depth to this shot.
