Since it’s a hot summer day here in the North Bay I thought I’d post a cool winter image. I took this shot at Fort Point back in January during a stop on one of my thousands of commutes that crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm.

In my last post I mentioned that I was on a 15 day “Reboot” juice fast. Today is day 11 and I’m going strong. At this point I’m actually considering extending it to 20 days–but if I do it’ll be one day at a time once I get beyond 15. One of the “side effects” of the juice fast is that the part of my brain that is the photographer has gotten lazy. Not sure why that is but I’m rolling with it and enjoying the break. Maybe my creative self is in reboot mode too. Whatever it is, it’s all good because I’m feeling GREAT. I have, however, been fiddling with old shots for possible posts. Here’s a shot of the Golden Gate Bridge I took on a very smoggy, hazy day. The best solution for the ugly brownish sky was converting to black and white.

I’m currently on day 5 of a 15 day “green” juice “Reboot” –that means I’m only consuming raw fruit and veggie concoctions made in our Hurom juicer or, occasionally, blended in our Vita-Mix blender. Why? Because I’m crazy, and I like a challenge. My goal is to shed 25 lbs and get my body back into “fighting” shape. So far so good, but I am having a hard time motivating myself to get out and shoot. I’m hoping that will change in the next few days. In the meantime, here’s one of the first shots I took with my 70-300mm mounted on the 5D Mark III.
Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM at 300mm. 1/250 at f/5.6, ISO 100.

You wouldn’t know it by this image, but, yes, this is a wastewater settling pond. The wetlands treatment facility is located in Petaluma near the Petaluma river. Besides providing sanctuary for all kinds of creatures, there are 200+ acres with hiking and biking trails to be enjoyed by the public.
This is a view of the river from the hiking trails.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L.

I’m currently in transition, and the road beckons. The question is, should I go east or should I stay in the west? Heading north is inevitable.
(This is very Sonoma County. Mount Saint Helena is in the backgound.)
