Belden Town Bridge

On our way back from the Oregon border for the July 4th weekend, we decided to follow the scenic byway that is Highway 70 running alongside the mighty Feather River.
The drive passes by landscapes of natural and manmade beauty, rugged canyon walls and railroad engineering marvels. And of course many many bridges.

Scared (me, not him!)

When I'm asked what type of photography I'm into, I say everything except portrait photography. People are way too scary, don't you think :)

Scarred

This gentleman pirate might have seen many seas, and fought many battles.
Were his scars the price to pay for his treasure hunt?

Update 7/10/11: I found out Mr. Patrick Gaul (playing Governor Woodes Rogers, so not a pirate!) was also photographed by Liz Hafalia. You can find the article @ the Chronicle.

Gotta love those graffiti artists :)

Lignes de Fuite

This building soaring towards Sydney's sky caught my eye.  But I like its convergence lines even more with a twist, a little saturation, grain, and a wee bit of vignetting.
