Sad....it's dark here when I go to work in the morning and it's dark when I go home. Somewhere in there was a few hours of daylight.

It's going to take some work to find a photo op this month....

Practice shot, the sunset was lame (for me). But just in case, I have another. I looked at my Flickr archives for January last year and not much sunset action... so everyone has a chance.

Still grinning Kurt?

Well it's time to start shooting some more pictures. Hopefully the fog/ clouds will clear this month so I can give the new camera a workout.

We have five days of rain that just started here in NorCal. I should have taken a photo this weekend when I was in SoCal.

You cannot take a photo for a sunset photo contest if there is no sun.

So you understand my excuse if I don't enter. The snow capped mountains here in Silicon Valley though are a nice unusual touch. Too bad the theme isn't "snow" as I could actually enter a photo for that right now.

Ooops! Forgot what I was driving. This ain't gonna work!


I almost never drive this 1948 Chevy 1/2 ton 5-window pickup. It's just a little scary. Still made it up the big hill (in 3rd) with a load of firewood. Kept it running so the headlights would be brighter than flashlights.


The only plastic are the ***** and steeringwheel cover.


I'm more worried about keeping warm, can't carry much firewood in a MINI.
speednut where are you?
