View From the Ritz I
Description
I twilight shot at Miramontes Point, Half Moon Bay, CA. That's the new Ritz-Carlton in the distance - $450 a night (ocean view), $2900 a night for a presidential suite. I was reluctant to shoot any shots with this hotel in the frame but I gotta say it does blend well with the landscape. Others will disagree.

Dead End!
Description
I shot this in Alviso, CA just north of San Jose, CA. Alviso is located at the southern-most tip of the San Francisco Bay and is a small town that's literally sinking a little bit each year. I have no idea what function these doorways serve since they lead to nothing but swamp land and muck but they seemed interesting to photograph.

Last Light at Crystal Cove
Description
Taken Apr 30th 2008 at the far north end of Crystal Cove State Park, CA. I kind of like this one because it's a retake from a previous (failed) visit. I got the foreground rocks the way I wanted and the weather was cooperative. I did not want a clear blue sky and was pleased with these conditions.

Death Valley Cloudscape
Description
Shot at Death Valley Nation Park, CA. This was on my first visit in October 2002. There is so much to see here and so very far to get there that you can only see a few sites in one day. Death Valley is so huge that it requires multiple trips and careful planning in order to take home quality images but I managed this nice postcard shot.
