Bad Turn

Yesterday, I went out to Sunol along Welch Creek Road. Welch Creek road is a one-lane very winding road along the edge of a canyon. There is a creek running along the road but 20-30 below the level of the road. I went down the edge of the embankment and had a heck of a time getting back up. It seems that someone did not make the turn and crashed their car at the top of this waterfall. It may be a little hard to see in infrared. The rectangle of the windshield’s frame can be seen at the top of the waterfall toward the right-hand side. Below the windshield is the crushed car body. From the look of it, the car has been there quite a while. I could see that the posts along the shoulder had been torn out. Hopefully, no one was seriously injured.

Sculpture

Today, dropped Mother off at the airport. Had to immediately go out and finish my asignment for my photo class. We were supposed to take a set of 5 images of the same object with different viewpoints. I decided on this sculpture at the entrance of our local shopping center. Obviously, the day was very gray but this one has some nice drama with the sun. I did some dodging on the right-hand upper figure to try and separate it from the palm tree.
