Work has been a grind and the commute is long. Some days it’s best to just get home and chill.

Silhouettes before the rain
There’s some weather coming our way. Just regular rain, nothing newsworthy. Nonetheless, as I was driving north the sky was getting progressively more cloudy–in a good way for capturing silhouettes. I stopped on San Antonio Road again looking for more barnyard animals. I was in luck! This time it was horses.
I processed the horse photo with Nik Silver Efex Pro, but the following shot is pretty much straight out of the camera–the original horses image had a very similar color tone.

Mid-afternoon light
I took this shot last week during my commute detour to Fort Baker. I like it for it’s simplicity–and because this is what San Francisco looks like from the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge on any given cloudless winter day during the mid-afternoon.

Busy image
It’s Friday, I’m beat and about to head out to a band gig–meaning, I don’t have time to explain why I like this shot. I’m just posting it, so you tell me.

Bucolic bliss
Getting out of traffic by crossing the highway at San Antonio Road is a diversion I do quite often on my way home. Because it comes at the end of my commute, going that way affords me a little time to unwind from the frenetic traffic flow. It has also provided me with quite a few surprising photo opportunities over the past 9 months–especially when I’ve turned up the “I” Street extension. Today’s surprise was a large sow rooting by a big rock. The sow wasn’t much interested in posing for me so I took her picture as I saw her–then played with the scene in Nik Silver Efex Pro.
