There is lots of available office space. I found this excellent example of a brand new and never occupied building. The lines of it are modern and sharp, so it did serve my purposes of creating an image on this overcast day.

Normally the weather in Northern California this time of year is quite boring for photography. Sunshine, warm days and zero clouds. This year has not been normal. I took advantage of the crazy weather and shot these trees. The lighting was constantly changing and the shadows in the trees and on the ground were all over the place from the shifting clouds above.

Two local markets on opposing corners of the street. Which will win your business? I guess this is what free competition in the market is all about, and the same applies to these guys.

On a hike out after a day of back country skiing, I was rewarded with this intense sunset. The mountains provided the perfect venue to take it all in and relax for a minute before heading back to the cabin. What a great day!

This photo sums up my weekend pretty well. Sunny days and plenty of vineyards and wine. I was in Healdsburg and had an excellent time!

A favorite view of mine, and a fantastic sunset. I like the almost purple color in the sky with the intense orange reflected by the city skyline.

This vineyard was absolutely glowing. Everything about it, from the grass to the leaves to the sky was alive with light.

A ferry ride home from Cozumel made for a great trip, and a view of some interesting cloud formations such as these four offsetting the moon.

An old church steeple at sundown. I like the way it is reaching towards the whispy clouds in the sky.

Electronic shutters can do amazing things, and strange things too.
