Fireworks as seen over Raley Field in Sacramento after a River Cats game. Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

This wide angle shot makes it feel as if the scene is slowly slipping away, all the way to the Capitol in the distance.

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.

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.

A view of Sacramento City Cemetery on Memorial Day 2011. Flags were everywhere. It was enough to make anyone stop and think.

The entrance to the old water intake on the Sacramento River. There is a much larger and more modern looking structure next to this that is currently used to pump water out of the river for the city. This one still has a certain amount of rustic charm to it.

Don’t be fooled, this is not the Golden Gate Bridge. I know, it can be difficult to tell the difference, but this is the much smaller Guy West Footbridge at Sacramento State University. It is still a pretty cool bridge and provides easy access to the trails on the other side of the American River.

Dinner and a show, where the dinner really is the show. The Kitchen in Sacramento is an amazing place. The meal itself is probably the best I have ever had, but you also get an evening of entertainment from the great staff there. No detail is overlooked. If you are in the area I highly recommend you check it out.

Midtown is that way!

An interesting sculpture in Sacramento that contains almost every color of the rainbow. The way this shot turned out reminded me a little bit of the colors of Easter so this was a good day to post it. I took this in front of what used to be a paint store, so the wild display of colors makes perfect sense.
