Shadow Shot Sunday: Fishnets on the Ceiling

A pair of inflatable fishnet-clad legs cast a long shadow on the ceiling of a local pub. Grab a pint and celebrate Shadow Shot Sunday! Cheers to last week's shadow shooters!

Feather Boa Gate

Mission Market

Another shot from the trip two years ago. I revisited this site last week -- that door is still hanging ajar.

Terminal Rainbow

Fremont St. under the soon-to-be-demolished Transbay Terminal. They did the colored-light thing last year around Pride Day; I suppose they're doing it again now to give the old joint a fitting sendoff.

Travel Thursday: Monochrome Sunset on Maui

After the color has gone...

Fresh Up

Droplets

Palace Fountain

The fountain at the Palace of Fine Arts before dawn this morning.

Rainy Season

Red Hat

Something about that hat made me feel like I just had to capture this young woman and her boyfriend as they sat talking in Union Square Saturday. Plus, they're such a cute couple anyway that it would probably be hard to take a bad picture of them.

Mrs. G doesn't care for the pole immediately to their left (and I actually did crop out quite a bit of the planter and other stuff on that side of the picture), but I like it. Your mileage may vary.

Happy Tooth

Saguaro Forest

For the first time in two years, I'm back down here in fascinating Tucson. (This shot is from the trip two years ago.) There was a blizzard here in the higher elevations the day before we arrived. The mountains are all white and there's water running in all the stream beds. The desert seems thrilled with the abundance. Of course, if it melts too fast there will be hell to pay. But the wildflowers should be great this spring. Tom, take note.

Shadow Shot Sunday: Cloud Storage

Something a little different for this week's Shadow Shot Sunday...

A stormy sunset puts San Francisco in shadow as twilight wanes, lights go on and people head home from work or out to dinner. To see some of last week's SSS entries, find your way through the shadows to this spot.

Shadow Shot Sunday

At the Transbay Terminal, waiting for a 5-Fulton to take me home.

Shadow Shot Sunday: it's nutritious and delicious.

Sally Field Moment

Each week, on Friday, the good folk over at CALIBER post a photo from a contributor to their Flickr pool to share with their considerable audience. This week, I was lucky enough to be chosen for their spotlight with this image, long a favorite of mine. I'm so flattered! Go check it out, and maybe leave a comment if you feel the urge.

Also, for those of you here in the Bay Area, scroll down the CALIBER site and take a look at the post about the upcoming photowalk on Saturday, January 30th. Starting at the Montgomery Street BART/MUNI station at about 12:30, the CALIBER gang will lead a group of photographers through Chinatown and North Beach, snapping shots all along the way. Pizza and beer will be consumed at a yet to be determined place at the end of the walk. I participated in the Halloween photowalk and it was a ton of fun. I look forward to joining the group again in a week.

Travel Thursday: Florence

Bell Tower at Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence.

(I've been sick all week, thus limited online presence. Starting to rebound today, thankfully.)

Wake Up!
