There is an incredibly scenic and little known viewpoint in San Francisco called Tank Hill. This particular view just after sunset really highlights St. Ignatius Church, but I happen to like the layering of the San Francisco Bay and hills in the background. If you look close enough, you can even see the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge on the left.
Scenic T Street in Sacramento looks even better in the fall. The huge old twisting trees lining the street really light it up as their leaves change.
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 photo might not make you think of Thanksgiving, but it was where I spent Thanksgiving a few years ago! The Pismo Beach Pier at sunset was a pretty great place to be.
One of the many water towers in Sacramento. In the Midwest where I grew up these things look very different, but out here this shape seems to be the norm. I guess I can’t complain as I get my water. This one at sunset certainly had a presence, and I like the way a little light is perched at the top.
On a drive home I found a good overlook towards Mt. Shasta around sunset. As a big fan of snow and the mountians, it was great to see traces of snow on the far away peak. I had to stop a few times to find a spot with a clear enough line of sight to get this shot. I thought about trying to keep the power poles out of the frame, but decided that leaving them in add a little extra detail to the photo.
On a backpacking trip I stayed overnight very near the top of Nevada Falls. This allowed me the unique opportunity of being at the top of the falls all night, and I was able to get some great shots of the sun going down!
I just had to pull off the road when I saw this. The sunset behind this tree and a truck was at the entrance to a winery we were driving by. I was lucky to be there at the right time.
