A Day of Failure

Found myself up and about at 6 in the morning on Thursday and decided to take advantage of the situation by taking a picture of the sun rising off the top of the Santana Row parking garage. A great idea I know, if only the sun had co-operated! Instead, thanks to a combination of the direction the sun rose from/The Valencia/The Mountains I didn't see the sun at ALL. Instead, one second it was dark and then -ever so subtly- it was day. Oh well, I'll be back when the circumstance are a bit more favorable. And its not like I let the day just go to waste.

But wait, there's more after the jump...

Once in a while I draw, this time like most times it was at 3 in the morning with nothing on TV and sleep far beyond my reach.

Well, the site is growing. Looks like we've had 6 visitors in the last couple of days, an up from 0. A shame I have no pictures from today to show for it. Today is an off day, a day of relaxation and pool playing. A day to forget 2 hours of hellish, stress filled traffic before a 4 hour drive in a rush to make it home on time. I will have something new and fresh for all 6 of you soon though!

In the mean time, have you ever driven past the windmills generating power on California's sometimes golden sometimes green hills? Ah... BUT have you done it at sunrise, with the sun behind the clouds as round and solid seeming as the moon? If you haven't, this is but an attempt to show how stunning and beautiful it.

Day 2

Campbell, CA

Not too small, not too big, not too trendy, and yet not too quaint (read: boring), Downtown Campbell is a great place to walk about. There is a well lit and more than well stocked used book store, coffee shops with free wireless internet, shopping for the ladies, and ladies shopping for the gents, all in all a great place.

BUT we shall come back to Campbell and some of its treasures later. For now, I leave you with a tasty teaser.

Day 1

Today I found myself at Downtown Mt.View, a fairly pleasant place. Had lunch at a quaint little Filipino restaurant, Tina's Kusina, where the food was tasty, affordable, and the ladies behind the counter are beyond nice.

Had the camera, so of course there where plenty of shots of crabs from an asian market, lamp posts and trees in the sun set, and the last couple of a homeless man at the light rail station. Played around with under and over exposing to great success.

Decided this one would look good in B&W.

Overdue. I WILL be posting more regularly. In fact, im going to try to get on this Pic a Day bandwagon. But in the mean time, I leave you with a photo from a hike at Fremont Older, Saratoga
