This photo is dominated by the U.S. Bank Tower in Sacramento, whose bright lights slowly change color all night. You can also see the glowing golden Tower Bridge off in the distance. I was out to take advantage of some clouds in the sky, which won’t be that common for the rest of the summer.
When I was in Cape Cod I of course wanted to see the two lighthouses out at the very tip of the Cape. I was able to make it to one, and this was the very breakwater I crossed to get there. The view on the way back was stunning!
I’m just not quite sure what it used to be. It is in a prime location in Healdsburg, but certainly looks to be in disrepair!
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.
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.
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!
