Dan Sherman's photostream  

I had checked out shots of this skyline online before we visited, but I didn't really realize how similar to Downtown Portland it is! Check out this shot I have and maybe you'll see it. Perhaps I was just missing home a bit, but it was sure a lot of fun photographing a city with bridges again! There was another bridge just to the left of this frame that reminded me of the Marquam bridge too.

Headed to the gulf for a weekend and visited Siesta Key in Sarasota. A friend of ours from high school and her husband moved here last summer a month after we moved and we hadn't been to visit them yet. I knew there was this short stretch of rocky coastline there, but it was more difficult to get to than I thought. We drove around for about an hour trying to find public access and parking until we finally had to park a mile or so down the beach and walk. We came to this sea wall at the end of the beach and skirted it around to this short, secluded beach. There were only a few other people which is a rare treat in Florida. Such lengths to find a photogenic beach!

I was talking about Eagle Cap Wilderness with another Oregonian today and it really made me miss this place. Even though I have only been there once...

This was last night's sunset in Clearwater, Florida. There was a cold wind blowing from the Northwest that drove away all the touristy beach goers :-)

Been spending a lot of time reworking some older images and here's one I haven't shared before. Would love to know what you think.
