Images from the Streets of San Francisco

I spent Aug 24th, 2013 out and about the Haight with the SF Flickr group on a photowalk.The walk ended at the Open Canvas event sponsored by Absolut Vodka. I had a great time, meet some new people and of course took lots of photos. Some of the photos are of murals and other street art, only the photos are mine.

2013 Perseid Meteor Shower

More time chasing fleeting objects in the night sky. Truly a spectacular meteor shower visible in Northern California this year. Most of these images were taken in Nevada County, CA along Hwy 20. On 8/11 and over night into 8/12 I traveled along Hwy 20, I-80, Hwy 89 to Sierraville, CA and back to Grass Valley stopping along the way to photograph. Unfortunately thick smoke from a forest fire cut the evening short. All photographs are single shot images.
