Winter Sunset Clouds, Pigeon Point

January 26, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

Winter sunset clouds at over offshore rocks and surf along the Pacific Coast at Pigeon Point, California.

I admit to still being a sucker for good sunset clouds. So, after I finished making a few photographs of the iconic Pigeon Point Lighthouse along the California coast highway between San Francisco and Santa Cruz I decided to simply point the camera out towards an interesting off-shore rock formation, include a bit of ocean, surf, and horizon at the bottom of the page, and shoot the sunset color in the clouds and sky.

Painted Bricks and Wall

January 25, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

Painted bricks and painted-over graffiti on a suburban wall.

Somehow this little bit of painted surface caught my eye while I was out walking with my camera the other day. I follow a general rule of not photographing graffiti, especially the low-class street tagging sort of stuff, but I will photograph the interesting and varied ways that folks cover it up. Somehow it looks like the person who painted out this tag may have been in a bit of a hurry! I also find those painted bricks on the left side interesting and a bit strange.

Sunset Surf, Big Sur Coastline

January 17, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

Panoramic photograph of winter surf and rough winter seas along the Big Sur coastline at sunset, California.

This is actually a photograph that I posted previously, but this time presented in a panoramic orientation. The last bit of sunset light is shining through a gap in the otherwise cloudy sky. (I didn’t realize it when I posted the original version, but I managed to get a good case of poison oak by clambering out onto the edge of this bluff to make this photograph…)

Yellow Building For Lease

January 16, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

A yellow light industrial building with black windows with a red and white “For Lease” sign, San Jose, California.

Number 3 in the News Day photo-walk series, and this one is perhaps the brightest and most intensely colored of the bunch. This light industrial building has apparently been deserted for a while and it is currently for lease. This bright yellow corrugated metal structure is right across the street from the intense green building from which the previous-posted photography came.
