Sutro Tower is a sight to be seen. It’s impossible to ignore this structure that towers above the city of San Francisco, peeking it’s head above the fog even when there’s nothing else to be seen through the mist. What I love about this picture is that the perspective of it miniaturizes this towering creature and focuses instead on the tree in the forefront. What do you think of this one?

So I have to confess that today’s photo was actually taken by my sister. We went out hiking in the East Bay at this remote trail that was unlike anything else I’ve ever explored in the Bay Area. On the hike we saw these trees that I see now and then around here. They have this strange smooth bark. I’ve often wondered if it’s some kind of tree illness that causes this. If it is, it’s rather pretty anyway.
