Walton Lighthouse

A view of Walton Lighthouse at sunrise. Santa Cruz, CA. October 2010.

This was one of my favorite from October last year. I remember we just had a few days of rain and couple of storms just passed, so my friend and I decided to go out and take some pictures. We woke up at 4:30AM and drove to Santa Cruz for sunrise. When we approached the Santa Cruz mountains, it was really quite foggy, and my thought was, "Oh no! Not again!". Luckily, when we got to the coast, it was clear! Although, none of those "dramatic" rain clouds were present in this scene, nevertheless, the light that morning was really nice.

Sometimes, it's a great experience to wake up early and be at a coast or beach to watch the light unfolds. And that morning was certainly one of those days.

Painted Ladies

A classic view of the row of Victorian houses in San Francisco with the city’s skyline as backdrop. San Francisco, CA. January 2011.

Howdy?! First of all, thanks for visiting my photo blog. Here’s my first post that I am excited to share with you all. Hope you guys enjoy!

I have wanted to take this picture for some time now. But I wanted to take this during the holiday season so the light on top of Transamerica building will be lit. The month of December went by very quickly. Although we had a few days off but I was either busy with other stuff that were more important or the weather was just not suitable. On other occasions, I would prefer cloudy sky but for this view, I wanted a clear sky so the skyline in the background can be clearly visible with no other distracting elements. In the high-res image, you can also see Christmas decors inside some of these houses! Very cool to look at! (talking about privacy! hehehe)

When I did not get a chance to come here by year end, I thought my window of opportunity has closed. Luckily, in early January the weather cooperated and I had the afternoon and evening free to visit this place and capture this image.
