Traffic Nightmares

Today's picture concerns the collapsed overpass on the east end of the bay bridge. On Sunday morning at about 3:30am, it seems as if the driver of a gasoline tanker truck was going just a little too fast through this section, hit the guard rail, overturned, and caught fire. The heat from the fire *melted* the steel girders of the overpass above, and it acted like taffy left out in the sun.

The driver suffered 2nd degree burns, but will recover. No-one else was injured.

There are calls of who should be held accountable for the highway re-construction and the inconvenience imposed upon hundreds of thousands of commuters.

(Picture was a tough one to take, driving at 60mph, aind aiming the camera at arm's length out the passenger window. Still came out decent.)

Going to start posting again every day. Over the next week, I'll be postin a bunch of pics from the past month to get back in the swing of things.

Haircut

Pic for Tuesday, March 20

Sean giving Maggie a haircut. Playing around with a combination of action and framing a shot in a mirror without the camera being visible.

I think it came out pretty good.

Just a hint of color

I'm a sucker for a good sunrise and I get to work very early - so I guess it works out.

Just a hint of the sunrise pinkish-orange color between the fog layers, typical of South San Francisco mornings. Is there a name for these colors?

In Bloom

Pic for Sunday, March 18

Walking out of my front door to go to work, I noticed my Magnolia was in bloom.

I liked that I was able to get the foreground in focus and the background not, as well as the reflections in the dew.

Asleep

I had planned on starting this up on Saturday, but life got in the way...

So, I'm starting this up today as the picture I got on Saturday was just too good to pass up.

I let the kids stay up a little late Saturday night, and I guess it got the better of him. Remember the days when you could sleep anywhere?
