This is a short way down the trail in the opposite direction from yesterday’s infrared shot. As you can see, all the rain has everything very waterlogged!

Andrew Molera
This was taken during my last sunset during my brief visit to Big Sur. My plan was to be down on the sand in Pfeiffer Beach State park. After going down a windy one-lane road, I was stopped in my tracks before the parking by a large river flowing over the road. So after a very hairy time backing up a one-lane windy road with many parked cards, I headed toward Andrew Molera instead. After paying and entering the parking, I saw the sign that all trails to the coast were washed out by the Big Sur river. Instead, I wandered down a trail along the bluffs of the river until a came to a large pond from runoff blocking my way.
Grungy Poppies
Another in the grungy flower series. This is a fairly old infrared shot of California Poppies combined with a graffiti shot from the Hidden Bay Workshop.
Jellyfish #2
Another from the jellyfish exhibit from the Monterey Bary Aquarium.
Shark Exhibit
This is from the Shark Exhibit of the Monterey Bay Aquarium. For a while, the aquarium had the only great white shark in captivity. There was a large celebration but the shark kept killing other fish in the exhibit had to be released.
Grungy Rose
Today, I am trying out the Qumana Blog editor for posting. Here is a grungy flower using my recent abstracts from the Hidden Bay Workshop.
Big Sur River
This was taken during my recent visit to Big Sur. The river was raging. This is a small pool left after the high water receded.
Hidden Bay Workshop #7
Tonite, I went to the Berkeley Camera Club print review. I showed (4) images from the Hidden Bay Workshop. I almost did not bring this image, but the group thought it was the strongest. I will say that Aphra rotated 90 degrees CW and that greatly improves it reading. It is shown rotated here.
Hidden Bay Workshop #6
This is a ‘pretty’ shot from Benicia. I cannot remember what caused the pink background.
Today, Aphra and I went to San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I went for the surreal exhibit but ended being fascinated with the photographs from the 1906 earthquake. The photographs were amazing and extremely disturbing to someone who lives near the Hayward fault. There were amazingly detailed panorama photographs of the devastation taken from an array of cameras from a kite. These were taken by George Lawrence. See some here, but these web images are a pale representation because these exhibited prints were made from extremely HUGE contact negatives. The details was incredible and made all the destruction very real.
Hidden Bay Workshop #5
This one is in honor of our host, Tim Rice. He paints abstracts and this is my version of his style of abstracts.
