Cold Steam

I saw the downtown PowerPlant exceptionally 'steamy' this evening on my way home from work. the below 0 temperatures I'm sure were the biggest contributing factor. I took a few dozen shots from different vantage points throughout the city, but was moderately lazy, as I was ill-prepared for -0 temps (not to mention my camera's suggested operating temperatures....) These were 2 of my favorites. And I took a picture of a plant, simple enough.

Apparently CLIF (the clif bar company) has a vineyard, and does what most vineyards do, make wine. This is the remnants from a bottle of 'the climber' a blend of 6 different california wines, simple, delicious, beautiful in an empty glass the next day.

clouds, ladders and such

a few shots from a ladder, a few from the ground.

upside down

I woke up this morning wanting to take pictures upside down. The thought then occured that I could just as easily flip pictures upside down, intitial reaction: super bummed. Final result: I did it anyway! 2 of these I flipped, the green bowl speaker and the one shot throught the grass. The other two were bonafide upside down pictures. The idea was to take pictures of things that might not be immediately distinguished as upside down, or things that look better upside down. I'm going to experiment with this more. I did some of this with film in High School with more interesting results than today, but It's a lot of fun to have people looking at you in public when you're shooting bent over with your head between your legs. Awkward, and I like it.

Some things look different from above.

a different perspective

I thought a change in point of view would be nice. I'm going to do a few more from the roof, I saw several different things that I've never seen from the ground. It's truly amazing how different the world looks from 20 feet higher. It's also amazing all the things that are completely invisible from ground level too!
