Yes, the main thing about forest fires ravaging the west is the lovely colors at sunset. Happy?

This is the sort of thing that makes you wish you were involved in the early days of space flight.

10JUL2007: San Francisco CA Canon SD450

It's not always like this in the "City" but frequently enough that you really begin to get a feel why every decent noir story is set here.

Another bit of video, reminds me of Inverted Funnel from summer of last year. Amazing, yet portentous.

A nice Thai dinner with my folks, and a walk in the park lead to this lovely shot. May evenings in Arizona almost make it worth the 115 degree weather.

Nikon D70, f8, 75mm, 1/640s

]]> The skies have been boring in Boston but I was quite impressed with what I saw on a recent trip to Colorado Springs, CO. They had almost daily thunderstorms in the late afternoon that brought in magnificent clouds. The view would change every ten minutes with the changing lighting. This shot was taken from a high perch at the Castle Pines Country Club.

]]> Bay to Breakers last weekend and I was suitably shocked and scandalized about the amount of naked runners and drunken Elvises. This particular Elvis was shaking his pelvis atop a bridge in Golden Gate Park. Nice colors, eh? The king's still got it.

]]> I wonder that there are too many old line hotels like the Peabody left in America. The imposing facade, the large sign on the roof, one can only imagine that this hotel was frequented by the creme de la creme of Southern society.
