I boosted the color-saturation in the top photo quite a bit to make it a bit more interesting -- my new trick for rescuing an otherwise hopeless photo...   Unfortunately, a major drawback of boosting color-saturation is a big increase in noise...   Some day I should buy a polarizer...

oil spil on S.F. Bay

I stopped by Crissy Field near the Golden Gate Bridge on Tuesday to check out the effects of the recent 58,000 gallon bunker-oil spill, but fortunately, from what I could see, this particular area escaped major damage...   Other areas within the bay, and areas as far north as Point Reyes have received globs of oil, plus a sheen of oil over the general area...   Johnson's Oyster Farm at Point Reyes is expecting to be hit with a heavy financial loss -- nobody likes oysters that taste like bunker-oil...

-----------------------------------------------
special edition -- Oil Spill in S.F. Bay
Kitty and I went out yesterday afternoon for a bit of birdwatching... These Mallards will be fine -- if they stay right where they are now... You may have heard about our 58,000 gallon fuel-oil spill from a ship bumping the Bay Bridge... The slick extends out the Golden Gate, fouling all my favorite beaches, north and south... It's a genuine mess...     [ from yesterday's KittyBlog ]

Right now everything is peaceful along the banks of the Lagunitas Creek, but the tranquil creek will, as usual, transform into a swollen torrent around the first of the year... The Coho Salmon and Steelhead Trout will return to spawn and die...   Life goes on...

unidentified sculpture

There seems to be a great deal of struggling with a liberal sprinkling of angst and pain in this incredibly detailed and complex sculpture...   Nameless to the mythologically challenged...   Stuck in a hedge on the lonely side of the Legion of Honor...
