THAT'S A WRAP.

December 31, 2011: such a beautiful day, and a sunset to match.

 

 

 

AND THEN THERE WAS FOG...

Sunset December 29, 2011. Ideal clouds and vibrant color, but the fog rolled in really quickly giving the pictures a blurry effect. Grateful I got to see it in-person.

EARLY RISER ATLAST!

Goooood Morning Santa Cruz! Wow, for all you suckers who were in your warm cozy beds this morning this is what you missed...December 29, 2011 sunrise.

 

 

 

PREMATURE

I've left what I thought was a dud sunset a few times now. I see grey clouds and wait, but not long enough. December 28, 2011 all I managed to take a picture of was the sky turning electric pink as I was almost home from the beach. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on ME.

HO HO HO

December 25, great sunset after many cloudless days. Once the sky was turning pink none of the surfers were getting out of the water, which would have made a nice silhouette on the last shot. But I'm happy nonetheless. Hopefully I'll get in at least one more before saying sayonara to 2011.

COUSIN SQUARED

November 26, new cousin arrived; if newborns went outside the day they were born, this would be the first sunset he'd get to enjoy. Bike shot in honor of Jenni and Doug, the new parents!

CAPITOLA VILLAGE *ALMOST* DELIVERED

I was watching the clouds alllll day, which I usually make a habit not to do because daytime clouds mean nothing until the exact moment when the sun actually sets. Too many rain clouds to get a full sky of color... November 19, 2011

BIG WAVES

Not the best sunset in terms of color, but the waves were intense. November 18, 2011

THURSDAY SUNSET

November 17, 2011

OVER THE BRIDGE

San Lorenzo River along Downtown Santa Cruz is pretty sketchy at night, so I'm sure glad a nice sunset came along. I mean, how can you mug or stab someone when you have such a great view as your backdrop? November 9, 2011 was an improvement to the dismal week.

STORM COMING?

November 3, 2011 Seabright Beach, 3 minute sunset experience. Rain clouds killed it.

WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE WINDOW CLEANER WITH YOU...

OCTOBER 23, 2011

I couldn't figure out where I wanted to be for the sunset so I (obviously) drove around, and got what I got.

                                         Just standing on my corner...

                                         No window wipe = failure

                              I'm totally the dork hanging out the window 
                    to take a picture at every red (and sometimes green) light.
                          

I'D BE HEARTBROKEN IF I MISSED THIS SUNSET

Late afternoon heat + great cloud coverage = ideal sunset conditions. October 14, 2011
