The Golden Gate Bridge is a spectacular bridge famous the world over and arguably the most photographed. Here is my personal vision. I hope you like it.

Hiking in Muir Woods is like going into another world. one populated by Giant Trees and the sweet smell of the forest.
A Little Dingy is all you need for a beautiful Summer Evening. Some evenings pass as if in a dream. We look for and
see in our dreams our hopes and desires. It is a timelessness, were the world is on hold and the time belongs to the lovers.
Here is a view from the Deckof the Tug Boat Richard Foss, at Sunset of the
C&H Factory in The San Francisco Bay. Work boats, toiling around the Clock.
.
for me the simplicity of things is often stronger than the more elaborate.
I often love the elegance of a single grass seed.

Here is a view of San Francisco from the perspective of the Ships that are constantly in motion 24/7 along the water front of the City. From here the big container and cargo and tanker ships work around the clock in every kind of weather condition moving the goods and commerce of our great Country. My hats off to these men and women who work tirelessly to bring us the goods we take for granted.
Early Morning from the deck of the Richard Foss Tug boat looking east towards the Union Pacific Railroad. The crew is getting ready to take a Barge Down river to Oakland.
A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky
By Lewis Carroll
A boat beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July -…..
……….
In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the stream -
Lingering in the golden dream -
Life, what is it but a dream?

Blue Window
Windows have long been a metaphor for our frail humanity. Like a window sometimes we are open and totally clear other times closed and shades drawn. Sometimes we can’t see because things obsurce our vision.
