Sunset at Hearst Castle
Daily Photo - Sunset at Hearst Castle
Maybe people in California get spoiled by good sunsets. Not living
there, I don't know! But, when you are sitting up high on a mountain,
in a castle-mansion, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, how could you not
get spoiled?
And this isn't even the main castle. This is just one of the guest-houses. Hearst had several guest houses there, each one as stunning as the next.
If you are enjoying these Hearst photos, I've now published six so
far. You can see all the Hearst Castle Photos. Note: These are also accessible via the "Categories"
down on the right side of the page.
New Book on Book List!
As some of you know, I've had the pleasure of getting to know Matt Ridley and his wife, Anya Hurlbert. I knew of Matt previously because I've always been a fan of his
unique science/genetics books; these have delightful and unexpected
hooks into economics, anthropology, history, and critical thinking.
And then I found out his wife was also of a different sort of
scientist, with a concentration in Visual Neuroscience. If you saw my
Google Talk, then you'll know that is also a big interest area for me!
Follow her link above if you want to read more.
Matt has a new book that just came out called "The Rational Optimist". If you want a taste of it, read Matt's recent Wall Street Journal article.
Anyway, here on the site, I have "Trey's Book List", that has all sorts of suggestions. There is surely something for everyone in there!
Bonus Book Suggestion!
I just finished listening to the Audio Book of Daemon. You gotta get it! I haven't heard anything this good in a while...
and, as opposed to most books, I really do recommend the audio
version. Jeff Gurner does an amazing job with the voices, and hearing
the computer voices talk is more than entertaining! The author,
Daniel Suarez, really knows his stuff. And, I would not be surprised
if he has read some of Matt Ridley's books -- particularly "The
Red Queen".

So how does one go about getting this kind of access to shoot ?
Get hired by the Parks department ?
I rattled off about 200 shots of the castle but all the time being
pushed and prodded by the staff to move along. I heard that
they have events for photgraphers only.
