Look: In the middle of... Nothing

A big chunk of my current work takes me to the Bay area a few times per month, and while I'm one of those people who love to drive across the country, hitting the same route over and over again does start to bug me.

Alas, the I-5 connection between L.A. and San Francisco is not particularly intriguing in terms of visuals, although I have to admit the sunsets along the mountains look pretty gorgeous, especially up North, before you reach the I-580 close to Tracy, CA.

Here is an iPhone shot from captured during my drive up there last week. It speaks for itself, and I will be witnessing one of those again the next two weekens.

Look: A trip to Oregon

Back in June, my wife and I headed to Oregon for a week to explore the state. We've never been before, but we both enjoyed diving into the deep nature blessed by popping greens and boasting lots of rain. That said, the trip up there was sunny enough.
