Lands End
Saturday morning at Lands End in San Francisco.
The Adventure Continues… Wind
This time of year, those of us in the central and northern parts of the Sacramento Valley eagerly await the phenomenon of the Delta Breeze — a cooling wind that blows in from the coast and acts as a natural air conditioner, easing our temps out of the 100° F (37° C) range. It’s nearly always good news when the […]
To the labyrinth
I’ve been wanting to go check out the Land’s End Labyrinth for awhile. The trails are good, but there are an awful lot of stairs to climb on the way back from the point. Still, with views like this, you might not mind the workout!
The Adventure Continues… Living History
Fort Ross, located on the Sonoma coast, has been one of my favorite historical places to visit; that’s partly because it is so easily visible from Highway 1 and seems to beckon me every time I pass by. This episode of California’s Gold originally aired in 1991; and these days the Fort Ross Conservancy hosts many types of activities for […]
Memory Monday, Week 106
August 2000 — This is the last bunch of photos from our day at Shell Beach. Just before heading home around noon, we made a brief stop at this entrance to the Kortum Trail. I’m not sure we actually hiked it that day; we may have been hurrying to miss the rush-hour traffic going home, since this was a Thursday […]
The Adventure Continues… Ano Nuevo
Año Nuevo State Reserve has been on my list of places to visit for a few years now. It’s a great spot to see and to photograph elephant seals during their breeding season, December through March. Guides accompany small groups of visitors to make sure the seals aren’t disturbed. Elephant seals were once hunted nearly to extinction, so it’s wonderful […]
You are here
As much fun as it can be wandering around in an unfamiliar place, sometimes it’s very comforting to find a map or a sign confirming your position and helping you get re-oriented. I sometimes find maps a little confusing, but I really love those that helpfully point out my exact position for me. In looking through my archives for these types of images, I realized I don’t shoot nearly enough photos of this type of sign; from now on I plan to more faithfully hunt them down.
Cold
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Cold.
Marina Drive to the Roundhouse Cafe
It’s not very far from Fort Point to the Golden Gate Bridge Welcoming Center, but if you’re on foot or riding a bike, you must be prepared for a climb! I took these steps up the side of the hill, and it’s a very good workout. Although I paused about halfway up, it wasn’t to catch my breath — I […]
