This gentleman likes to watch the sunset from on top of a driftwood log stuck in the sand. At Seacliff State Beach in California. #aptos #sunset #photography #seacliff
A view from the beach of a pretty sunset. In the foreground is the silhouette of a man standing on a driftwood log stuck vertically in the sand.

Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland California has some beautiful monuments. I spent almost four hours wandering around and still didn't see all of them. I got lucky with a wonderfully overcast day; it was perfect for black and white photos. #photography #mountainviewcemetery #oakland #angel #bored

The rattledragon is keeping it toasty. I took this one during an awesome photo workshop put on by @capenights.bsky.social and @kenleephotography.bsky.social at #borregosprings. #photography #lightpainting
A large, red, Chinese-style dragon head rises out of the desert sands. It's breathing out a yellowish stream of fire. Above it is the milky way in the night sky.

Old buildings late at night with the milky way rising at the end of a darkened street.

Looking towards the boneyard at New Brighton State Beach on a foggy morning. At low tide you can see a bunch of fossils of sea animals along this stretch dating back ~5 million years.
Twisted driftwood logs at the base of a large cliff disappearing off into the distance on a foggy morning at the beach.

I feel like everyone could use a nice sunset right about now. This is from tonight at Seacliff State Beach in Aptos California. The metal stuff in the foreground are the ruins of a resort destroyed in storms around 100 years ago. #photograhpy #sunset
A yellow, red and orange sun sets over the ocean and low hills with wispy clouds in the sky. In foreground, water surrounds the ruins of an old resort.

I got a rare opportunity to see the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk all lit up at dawn. It was pure luck, and I just happened to be in the neighborhood when they'd opened early for an event. People hadn't really arrived yet, so I mostly had the place to myself. #photography #santacruz #boardwalk #dawn
The dawn glow lights up the sky behind the Giant Dipper sign and the Ferris wheel at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

Capitola is a great place to drink some coffee and watch the sunrise as surfers catch the first waves of the day. #photograhpy #dawn #surfing #capitola #california
A surfer in silhouette rides a small wave in the foreground, while the sun rises over the mountains in the background.

Early morning cliffs, sand and surf at Scott Creek on highway 1 in California #beach #cliffs #surf #photography
An almost empty beach with three people in the foreground. Dramatic cliffs rise from the surf in the background. It's a sunny morning.

Whatever else is going on, there is still beauty out there. Above the clouds there is always the blue sky. #sayulita #photography
multi-colored flags hang in rows. A light post is present, but it is not on. Above the flags are small fluffy clouds, and above that a blue sky.

Here's a ferruginous pygmy-owl in Nayarit, Mexico. Glad I lugged the big lens with me on vacation!

You might be a photographer if you spend more time thinking about which lenses to bring on vacation than what clothes you'll wear.

Early morning in beautiful Capitola, California

#photography #sunbeams #capitola
A silhouetted person stands on a mound of sand looking out over the bay in the early morning. Above are dark, heavy clouds. Sunbeams burst through the clouds shining light on the ocean.

If you see this post, post or quote repost a Bridge from your photography or artwork. (I dunno why everyone is posting pics of bridges but like Jack Burton always says...) Bonus points if you can identify both bridges! #photography #bridges

When/if we ever get to meet aliens, they'll probably be so different from us they'll blow our minds. Take jellyfish for example. They really look like they should be from another planet! #jellyfish #montereybayaquarium #photography
a tiny blue jellyfish with a black background surrounded by tiny spheres. A red light of some sort is visible behind the jellyfish.

Wispy high clouds make for pretty sunsets, and the lighthouses are all lit up for the holidays. #sunset #photography #santacruz
A lighthouse with holiday lights, the lighthouse lights reflected in the water, dark blue surf, and a pretty sunset from wispy high clouds decorated in reds and oranges.

Don't you hate it when you lug all your camera gear somewhere, but then your favorite shot is from your phone?

A pretty sunrise mirrored in a river at the beach. A distant silhouetted person enjoys the morning.

Surf's up at the cement ship! This isn't usually a surf spot, but after a good storm sometimes the waves are right. At Seacliff State Beach

I'm digging Bluesky. A new pic place! Here's one from about a month ago at the International Car Forest. That's the moon rising over the car. I lit the inside up with a small light panel, and the outside with a mini mag light with a red filter. Inspired by @kenleephotography.bsky.social :)
A large, old station wagon is buried nose down in the Nevada desert, with its top towards us. The moon rises above the car in a starry sky. The car windows glow yellow, the top of the card glows red, and a mysterious dark figure is painted on it.
