Taken on a hike in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It was too foggy for the usual sweeping vistas, but this is what we got instead.

The best seafood always seems to come from the seediest looking vendors.

Okay, it wasn't *this* cold today, but perhaps if it was I would have felt more justified staying in.

The Fishbowl

This one cracks me up every time... Elvis definitely lives.

In fact, this is a picture of a swan... a very speedy swan. (Photo Friday - Distorted)

Two more from Taiwan: These were taken inside "The Living Mall," which is an enormous mall with a giant spherical department store in the center of it. Definitely unlike anything else I've ever seen.

Yikes, it's been a busy week and I forgot to post pictures. What can I say? So in honor of Chinese New Year, here's a picture from Taiwan.

My roommate, taking in the view from the London Eye. We kept postponing our ride because the weather was bad, but once we finally went were were lucky enough to get plenty of late afternoon sun in just the right places.

Recognize this one? I have this photo on my credit card & it strikes up a lot of interesting conversations about California.

This is the view of Barcelona and the sea from Parc Guell. Designed by Antoni Gaudi, just about everything in the park looks like part of an elaborate gingerbread layout.

Sean and Jaden - you'd think that they're brothers, but they're just friends with a common love of spiky hair. (photofriday: youth!)

The Caltrain San Francisco terminus - Early October, 2001.

Still life in the front yard.

Taken in Ithaca, NY. I think the style of this photograph is reminiscent of Magritte - the images below give some examples.
