The view north from Pedro Summit on a rainy day. Bluff Trail, Pedro Point Headlands, #Pacifica , CA. The little point in the foreground with the buildings is Shelter Cove, and I had no idea it was there until I hiked out to the summit.

On the edge.

Image
On the edge. Esplanade Beach, #Pacifica, CA. There are a few houses around this spot that have been close to washing out as long as I've lived in the area and heavy surf last winter finished this one off. I shot this a couple of months ago but haven't published it until now because I didn't know what was going to happen to the house. Then I drove by recently and the house was on blocks awaiting transportation elsewhere, so hopefully the ending is happy after all. For TuesDecay​ #TuesDecay by Ian Ference​.

Off Little Panoche Road, near Mercey Hot Springs, CA, March 2003. I've been a bit under the weather lately and haven't been out shooting in a few weeks, so I've been mining the archives. This will probably be the oldest photo I'll ever post to G+, unless I break out a film scanner.

This is a shot from my first attempt to reach the summit of San Pedro Mountain.

Image
This is a shot from my first attempt to reach the summit of San Pedro Mountain. I looked out the window, saw that we were going to have a sunset that night, and ran out the door with my camera. I didn't realize until I was out of the house that I'd only left myself about 25 minutes until sunset and it turns out that it's a much longer hike to the summit (it all looks so close together when I look at it from my house, miles away) than I thought. Not only did I completely miss the sunset, I didn't even make it to the spot I was trying to reach.

Long shot of the sun setting behind Pedro Point, #Pacifica, CA about ten days ago. The shot is exposed to show the color gradient of the sun itself, which was due to a layer of smog (from the wildfires in the Santa Cruz Mountains) sitting near the water surface.

Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, March 2008. Apparently, about a week later, there was a small eruption that tossed a washing machine sized boulder into the parking lot hundreds of feet behind where I stood to take this.
