Warm Light ~ Storm Clouds - Jan. 4

After a wind and rain storm had passed through the Bay Area the setting sun cast a beautiful warm glow on the wet streets and wind-blown buildings. You could not help but to stare at the colorful sky and the buildings and the streets, the over-saturated green in the trees and a orange and pink hue on everything. It reminded me of the Texas skies of my childhood with their impending summertime tornadoes and hail storms.

While focusing my viewfinder eastward, opposite the setting sun, on the deep colorful sky, the apartment buildings and the bright yellow strip in the center of the street, a man in a bright red jacket came walking down the street. "Wow, unbelievable timing," I thought. I salivated at the additional color in the frame. "Fantastic" I said to myself. Then just as I composed the image, a red car sped up the street opposite the red coat. The car whizzed by. Snap. "Magnificent!" I yelled.


The saturated color of the stormy skies.



The beautiful cloud-thick sky reflected in my living room window.

Cirque du Soleil - Jan. 2

Marcus, John, Stacy and Suzanne at South Beach Cafe before Cirque du Soleil. Great Pizza! Note: don't order the fondue if you're in a hurry or if you don't trust your table-mates, someone could lose an eye.

Pacific Heights - Jan. 1, 2008

Old fashion wind indicator on top of a 1930's building in Pacific Heights.

Bike parked on a gate at Alta Plaza Park.

I always think it is very strange right after the official holiday season to see trees tossed to the streets. They're not "Christmas trees" any longer, now they're just trash. "We loved and worshiped you mere hours ago, but now you're a dried-out fire hazard trashing our living room carpet, now get out!" They congregate on street corners and commiserate about their common situation.
