Friday. Long week. And now I’m dealing with summer traffic on “get away” Fridays–morons! I arrive home and immediately look for a cool one in the fridge… This was the view.

The whole shootin’ match.
It’s just a crane
I know, it’s just a crane, but “big yellow” has been dangling its ball and hook on the west side of the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge for months. It’s fixture at this point, and it’s massive. Crossing the bridge heading north, I usually see it hanging its head facing the bridge. Here’s a shot from underneath of it turned away.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 85mm. 1/200 second at f/16, ISO 200.

The other bridge
I’m feeling a bit sleep deprived today. Up at 3:30 AM, on the road at 4:00… home at around 4:00 PM. It’s a grind. Add 135 miles of driving through a major metropolitan area to the mix, multiply by 12 years… Anyway, here’s a recent shot I took of the Bay Bridge. The silver connector between San Francisco and the east Bay may not be as iconic as the Golden Gate, but it holds its own.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 50mm. 1/400 second at f/11, ISO 200.

Overgrown and rusty
At the end of our beach walk on Sunday we took a different route back into town. This little scene caught my eye–and though I liked the color version, black and white just seemed better.
On second thought…

Sunday morning after a gig
This past Saturday night, our band played a gig at Smiley’s Saloon and Hotel in Bolinas, CA. We’ve played there many times, and, because driving home in the wee hours on the windy roads from Bolinas is such a trek, we always accept the gracious hospitality of the proprietor and spend the night–NICE perk! After breakfast on Sunday morning the fog began to abate so we decided to take a long walk along the beach.
This shot was taken along the mouth of the Bolinas Lagoon.
Maggie turned just as I pressed the shutter button– “What the… ?”
