I brought my camera along during a short errand run this afternoon. This corner apartment building caught my eye so I stopped and grabbed a couple of shots. From the front view, the style of the structure looks much more interesting in black and white.
To show the afternoon light, here’s a color view from the side angle.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm.

Sometimes stuff happens with a camera in hand while wandering around grabbing images. There was yesterday’s “shack” photo plus these from my half hour commute walk at Fort Baker. This is not a “series” in the strict sense, but more like a day in the life.
This calla lily is a very early bloomer. I expect to see them a month from now, but this one got a jump start because of the very warm January weather.

And while on my way back to the car I grabbed this image. This is where I was.

Once again I headed down to Fort Baker during my drive home from work. It’s becoming a favorite spot for grabbing “commute” shots because it’s quick and easy to get to from the freeway. I drove out to the fishing pier parking area on the west side of Horsehoe Bay and walked up to the construction area under the north end of the bridge. This little run down, overgrown utility shack immediately caught my eye.

This is the main alley in our picturesque town. It’s located between the two main streets. If you walk by and just look down it from its entrance this the view.
From the street, it looks kind of grungy (and better in black and white), but a little over halfway down the alley one finds art. Here is a small section of the work.

Fortunately, I wasn’t seeing double when I took this photo, but I was seeing red.
