Steps, Muir Woods. Muir Woods National Monument, California. December 21, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.
This photograph was made in near darkness after sunset on the winter solstice. These steps lead up to a side trail above the main trail along the bottom of the canyon at Muir Woods.
Sometimes when I’m going out for purposes that conflict with serious photography I carry a small Canon Pro 1 camera. That’s what I was carrying when I shot this image out of the train window as I waited to depart for San Francisco on Caltrain.
I’m going to collect a few short bits a pieces together in one post this morning:
Email problem? – I just discovered that there may have been a problem with my email account during December. Please accept my apology if you sent me a message at dan@gdanmitchell.com and received no reply. I believe that the problem has been fixed, and I have set up a secondary email at gdanmitchell@gmail.com.
Current photos – December is one of my favorite times of the year in the Central California oak grassland hills. The current photographs of oak trees were made during the past month or so, and are part of a project that should eventually lead to a portfolio of black and white photographs of these oaks.
Seattle – I was able to spend a few (cold and damp) days in the Pacific Northwest during the first week of the new year. Photographs from that trip will not appear here until the end of January and first week of February. (You can preview some of them here, here, and here.)
Google ads – I’m experimenting with some small Google ads on this site. We’ll see how it goes – perhaps I’ll make enough to cover the hosting costs!

Oak Tree, December. Calero Hills, California. December 15, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.
If you follow my photography at all, by now you may recognize that California oak trees are among my favorite subjects. Photographed in December, this tree is south of the San Francisco Bay Area and sits on a grassy hillside nearly by itself.
