No, that one was taken looking toward the ocean from a hiking trail on the north side of the Golden Gate. It is actually a companion to the other one that you really liked. Both were taken from different points on the same trail, one on the south side, the other on the north.

Ah, very cool!


I was down below the Golden Gate, but I never found that spot. Great pics!

Thanks! Here's another waterfall detail (there are so many beautiful detail shots in Yosemite )...

[Reinhardt]

Wow, this picture is awesome!! Looks the kind of tree you'd see in a Tim Burton movie.

My El Capitan is pretty weak compared to yours RoboDad but here it is anyway .

And here are a couple better Yosemite pics:

Me and my wife at Tenaya Lake. (Had my camera on a little mini tripod that has a built in velcro strap--it's wrapped around a tree!)

That El Cap shot isn't bad at all, really. And I love the others, especially this one:

Hope you guys enjoy them.

Going, going, gone!


Nice.

 

[RoboDad]

agen, as always your work and talent astound me. All of these shots are superb, but something about the clarity of the water in this one really stood out to me.

Willet

 

[agen_kolar]

Thanks guys. I really like the shot of the Willet, too, Robo. I like how he's standing in the wave and it didn't topple him over. The clarity turned out nicely.

Going through some of my files from a few years back, I found some more shots I took during a trip to Bodega Bay. Here are a couple of landscape shots:





And here are a few "studies" type shots I took. I was fascinated by the colors and textures of these shots. They may not appeal to everyone (or anyone ), but I like them.
