Yesterday morning, Main Beach.In addition to the high tides we had a big swell whipping up foam. Yesterday near the San Lorenzo Rivermouth.There were puddles everywhere. Alice, Olive and Ernest this morning at Seabright Beach.
All forty of the participants in the 2024 Capitola Plein Air Art Festival were painting in the Village this morning.I went down to check out the scene and snap a few photos.The painters were friendly, enjoyed talking about their work and open to being photographed. And, it was a beautiful morning, adding to the fun!
The Gaylor Lakes trailhead is not far from the Tioga Pass entrance to Yosemite. It’s a short, steep climb to the top. Then a short, steep descent to Middle Gaylor Lake. We only saw two people (from a distance) the entire time we were at the lakes.
We had lunch and walked around both lakes. This is Upper Gaylor Lake. The elevation is over 10,000 feet. I love the desolate but beautiful scene.
A month ago I posted a couple of iPhone photos of the Pyramids at the base of the Santa Cruz Wharf. I ended up photographingthe scene a number times with multiple cameras. This one was made when the project was finished with a Hasselblad 501CM and Kodak Tri-X120mm film.
This one was made with a LOMO camera and 120mm Kodak Gold 200. The work was still in progress here.
Finally we have a classic Holga photo made with Tri-X 120mm film
I got up early one morning to catch the good light at Mono Lake.As the sun peaked over the White Mountains in the east, the Sierra Nevada glowed in the west. The tufa towers, formed when fresh water springs containing calcium bubble up through the carbonate rich lake water, looked other worldly.Even the dry desolation of the area looked beautiful in the early morning light.
Just back from a week in the Sierra Nevada. We were in the Eastern Sierra and theTioga Pass, and Tuolumne Meadows areas.These photos are from a hike we did yesterday in the Twenty Lakes Basin.This scene reminded me of a Rothko painting.
