(This was one of those “Um, what the hell are you taking a picture of, Zak?” shots. My response is always “Oh, nothing,” but this time I got a nice shot and a blog post out of it.)

OK, we’ve had enough pictures of cute kids around here for a while. I know you all really come here for closeups of rusty bolts.

Not exactly beautiful, but it had a high haeccity quotient that I enjoy. And, since I endured the looks of all the Japanese people waiting for the same train wondering what the hell the big gaijin was taking a picture of, I feel justified in posting it here.

In my Deep Dark Woods post of a few days ago I posted some nature shots of the wooded area near my house.

Here are a few urban shots, all taken in Kyoto.

Looking over my photos from the trip, I see a few of the hundreds that I took which are decent.

Here are some from my stay in Sausalito. Unfortunately but perhaps predictably the place was blanketed in fog for a large part of the time we were there.

Genbo (in red) loved running down this hill.

This little cottage looked incredible in the fog. Being Sausalito, the owner probably bought it for $50,000 20 years ago but could sell it for several million now.

Tully’s babe?

Or traditional brooms lit by setting sun?

…From tonight. Put the kids to bed, then went one station down the Yamashina, where there’s a Starbucks open until 11 PM. I wanted to get some more work done this weekend, and knew that if I stayed home it wouldn’t happen. So I put it about 90 minutes in an annoyingly loud (I know, I know, I asked for it) cafe before wandering around a little to see what I could shoot in the dark.

Now I’m back home looking at my photos and counter-acting the effects of the espresso with some nice scotch.

First two are nice for their perspective and the last for its total lack thereof.
