San Francisco Canyon

2022-Jan-102022-Jan-09 adohertyhLeave a comment

Describing city streets as canyons is, at this point, a cliché, but that doesn’t mean that an image of San Francisco can’t be perfectly canyon-evoking.

Sunrise over Los Angeles and SoFi Stadium; time to say goodbye to 2021. See you in the new year!

A E S T H E T I C Hot Tub

Magenta-and-cyan “vaporwave” aesthetics go well with an Indio hot tub.

Seats By/In the Pool

2021-Dec-15 adohertyhLeave a comment

Whether it’s a hot desert afternoon or a cool desert night, the best seat by the pool appears to be the seat in the pool.

San Francisco Weekday Traffic

2021-Dec-132021-Dec-12 adohertyhLeave a comment

When I was young, I thought the most unrealistic aspect of chase scenes through San Francisco was the car suspensions surviving jumps off the steep hills. As an adult, I’m not so sure that the lack of traffic isn’t the real winner.

Night on Zenda Drive

2021-Dec-062021-Dec-06 adohertyhLeave a comment

Thanksgiving in Palm Springs has 100% more hot tub than might otherwise be expected. Can you spot Hazel the dog, on guard for coyotes?

San Diego to Palm Springs

2021-Nov-26 adohertyhLeave a comment

The route over the mountains between San Diego and Palm Springs, CA 74, leads down this incredible twisting spiral of two-lane blacktop. Far in the distance, the twinkling lights of the desert valley await night travelers.

Bridge Construction in the Fog

2021-Nov-19 adohertyhLeave a comment

A moment in time, glowing through the fog: lights from the old (now dismantled) and new (still under construction, at the time) eastern spans of the San Francisco—Oakland Bay Bridge.

Streets of San Francisco Redux

What better way to capture San Francisco than looking down California Street?

Berkeley Hills Vegetation

2021-Aug-232021-Aug-22 adohertyhLeave a comment

Far beyond the glowing web of Bay Area streets, the verdant Berkeley Hills are curving and waving and tossing in the wind.

Graffiti Logs

2021-Jul-282021-Jul-25 adohertyhLeave a comment

Shooting summer landscapes in the Bay Area typically means swaths of gold, blue, and red. Bright pinks and magentas are much less common, but the jackets and graffiti of Grizzly Peak on this particular evening brought those novel hues.

Picnic with the Bay

2021-Jul-192021-Jul-17 adohertyhLeave a comment

“Escaping from it all” may be difficult in the Bay Area, but an evening picnic in the Berkeley Hills gets pretty close.

Trees and City

2021-Jul-092021-Jul-08 adohertyhLeave a comment

The East Bay’s tree-lined streets make for a calming juxtaposition with “cloud city” wall of buildings and marine layer across the water.

July 4th Special

An Independence Day special: Fireworks in San Francisco, seen from across the Bay in Berkeley.

Marina and Marine Layer

2021-Jun-302021-Jun-26 adohertyhLeave a comment

Something about the iconic combination of the Golden Gate Bridge, the marine layer, and Berkeley Marina, all bathed in sunset colors, makes me think of before-dinner drinks and cool summer breezes.
