The Golden Gate

After several early morning visits, nature decided to give me a rare clear view of The Golden Gate.

A Foggy Day

A quiet early morning drive to encounter nature at its finest time.

Valley of the Moon at Sunset

Along a single lane twisty road, this view came into focus. Overlooking the hills of Glen Ellen, California. The mountain scenery gave me a clear tranquil view of what my image of Sonoma is all about.

Mystery Movie

Can you name what famous movie these buildings are from and what town they are located in?

Mendocino, California

After sorting through the amount of photos taken that day, I ended up with these two that stood out for me. With the coastal fog just hoovering above the hill side, it gave a eerie look to the landscape. A tranquil or should I say a very peaceful feeling.




Navarro Vineyards, Mendocino, California.

Architecture

Photos taken during a fall sunrise. Have found myself interested in the form and detail of buildings. I am looking around more, so that I don't repeat a lot of the same imagery.

Petaluma, Ca. river and marsh

Shollenberger Park river walk is located in the city of Petaluma, California. I found this to be a very tranquil and beautiful area for nature photography. I limit the number of photos per posting, that way your able to view them on a larger format when you click on them.

Isolation

I guess that you can say that the photos speak for themselves. (Isolation) Found in many areas along my trip.

Spiritual Light

Decided to take photos in a church to absorb the light that filters through the stain glass windows. Trying to catch the feeling that it gives you when you enter and hear the quietness that surrounds you.

No Flash, all time exposure, existing light.

Working with Light

Trying to capture light that gives feeling. Also working with scenery that invokes vastness.

Petaluma's Old Adobe

Located near the city of Petaluma, California - this is one of Petaluma's Historic Landmarks from the 1800's. This was General Guadalupe Vallejo's working ranch from 1836-1846. All Photos were taken without any flash and using only existing lighting.
