Part of the steps down to the North side of Brown Bridge 'Pond". Had not visited these before, neat area.
Phyllis and I loved the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps -- a beautiful, community-created mosaic running up the steps at 16th and Moraga in San Francisco.
In 2003, Artists Aileen Barr and Colette Crutcher led the creation of 163 mosaic panels that were applied to the step risers, over 300 neighbors helped make them, and over 220 neighbors sponsored handmade animal, bird and fish name tiles embedded within the mosaic. They successfully completed the project two years later, in 2005.
This collective art project is one of San Francisco’s little-known gems that’s well worth the trip: it is a sight to behold, as these photos suggest. The spiral patterns that run through all the steps are exquisite and tie it all together. What a wonderful way to make art with your neighbors!

One of the county's more dramatic beaches. It gets it's name from the huge slate outcrops scattered along the beach and not the inordinate number of steps you need to go down to get to the beach. It is said that the outcrops were put there by Bedruthan, a giant, and used as stepping stones.
At low tide the beach itself stretches for over a mile with plenty of interesting nooks and crannies.
As the numerous warning signs point out the cliffs are dangerous as are the tides and there is a good deal of potential to become cut off at high tide
Had the excellent company of a group of photographers on a walk through Millington Woods and Sylvan Dale on Saturday and I think they enjoyed the locations and although we had a couple of downpours the rest of the day stayed fine.
This shot was taken a couple of days before when I was checking the woods on my own for some interesting areas for photography. Not entirely convinced about this shot but it's something I may go back and do again soon.
Active Assignment for the week of April 13th-20th: Stairways
I wanted to find a stairway a little out of the ordinary, I remembered this one and had wanted to photograph it a while back. So this assignment gave me a good reason to go back.
WIT-- A stairway and some good lighting. Post processing,........changed from a color image and boosted the contrast a bit.
Inizia un nuovo giorno di cammino, immersi nella nebbia, da Campu Donanigoro (Supramonte Dorgali, Sardegna).
On Saturday mornings I go riding and I carry my Canon G9 for interesting things that i ride by.
Most times I get off my bicycle and sometimes I dont !
