Golden Gate Bridge just after sunset
Taken on an unusually clear evening just at the start of summer. Confirming what I learned last January, the Golden Gate bridge looks best after sunset, when there is still a touch of color in the sky and the towers are lit from below.

Sunset Over Delicate Arch
Hiking out to Delicate Arch at sunset was the perfect end at a great day at Arches National Park. After spending two days waiting for the weather to clear, today was sunny but cold. Delicate Arch is just stunning. The approach adds to the dramac because the final section of the trail is a snowy path up the side of the cliff, and once you get to the top, the one is rewarded with this splendid vantage point to the arch.

The peaks in Zion National Park all have outlandish names. The one of the interpretive signs says the names were early visitors method of making sense of the grandeur of the place.

Highgate Cemetary
Highgate Cemetery is wonderfully atmospheric Victorian era cemetery in Lodnon. With its overgrown vines and meandering paths, it feels right out of a English novel.
