The Merced Wildlife Refuge can be a pretty spectacular place even if the ducks and geese haven't arrived for the night. This was taken facing away from the impending sunset. Go, see, enjoy.
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is of course a classic. On this day my sister and I walked across the bridge. I think she thought I was a little crazy for some of the photos I took, even laying on my back for some of them. Go, see, enjoy. And be a little crazy

I had to go to Sacramento for my job (the semi part of semi-retired). Since I was done early I decided to visit Old Sacramento. But first a little story. Since I had spilled some chemical down my pant leg and it looked ...um... unseemly, I went out and bought a pair of shorts and some socks, and was ready to go. I'm a member of the California Railroad Museum and therefore got in free. It wasn't a disappointment from a railroad fan point of view. I was however disappointed from a photographers point of view. The museum was quite dark, no tripods allowed, and most of the exhibits were under glass. I did get a couple of inside shots I liked. This is the water injector that put the water in the boiler, a very mundane function but in yesteryear an opportunity to shine. An this is one of the most famous color schemes. It's the Santa Fe's War Bonnet colors. A modified version is used today by the Atchison Topeka and Santa...
The blue tones in this image are just outstanding. The composition is perfect! Great job!
