This one sort of reminded me of some Swiss Alps shot.  In any case, a cheery shot to get you over Hump Day and toward the end of the week.

Gnarly old tree trunks, in B&W and fairy tale blue.

House on the Hill……overlooking Oakland’s Lake Merritt.

Reflection at Lake Merritt Boathouse in Oakland.

Step up into a better apartment….

Triangles, Circles, and Squares.  Geometry come to Life?

Took this in Oakland in the early hours of Sept 11, 2011.  Felt a little odd to be carrying a camera in the darkness on that anniversary.  Kept expecting security or police to question me, even though there weren’t too many people around.

The World’s Most Eco Friendly Motorcycle?…….

Two cropped shots inside the cable car barn. 

Waiting in the shadows is Cable Car #3……

Did a photo walk around part of San Francisco yesterday with deshaunicus

who was visiting from NY.  When we stopped by the cable car barn, I told him that when the cable cars get too full, this is where they dump the tourist bodies.   He ran away screaming……..

Time for a Sunday morning cup of coffee……

Have been going over myTumblr and Flickr contacts this weekend, trying to cut things down a little.  Time has been tight the last couple of months, and I find myself under pressure to get through all the stuff on my Tumblr dashboard, do a few driveby “likes” and comments, and be done.  Still takes a long time.  Cutting people out is also a little difficult, as there are some good photographers out there.  I decided to focus more on those people that I interact with, as the dialog is often just as rewarding as the pictures themselves.
