Despite the roar of rushing water here and there, the Lagunitas Creek is a very peaceful place. Obviously there was no rushing water near this tranquil spot.

And thank goodness that there are seldom any other people around -- for they would surely ask me what I was staring at in the creek. It's all so difficult to explain right there on the spot.

But the jazzy water is loud -- it really likes to make a statement.
Or looking at it differently, it might be some mixture of colorful chemicals used in the manufacture of god-knows-what.

And there is still water, bordered by darkness. Perfect place for a poet...

All very nice, but the first in particular is spectacular, because of the trick it plays on the eyes with the reflection. Great work.
THANKS EMMY, LUCKY DOG, AND CHRIS -- for the wonderful comments.
And Lucky Dog; I shoot everythingh with a Canon5D and the 70-200 f-4 "L". Of course I can't wait for rumored 5D Mark3 to come out, and I am already lusting after the new and improved "II" version of the lens I have.
I almost always shoot on Aperture-Priority, and I try to stay on a low ISO of 100 unless the situation demands something higher.
I try to brace my camera on available objects, since I really hate using my tripod.
I eventually sort through and only keep about 2 percent of my clicks, and update them on my "Big Site" every five or six weeks.
I shoot in RAW and use the RAW Converter, CameraRAW that comes bundled with PhotoshopCS3. From my initial adjustments in CameraRAW I open the images in PhotoshopCS3 for their final tweaks. I am a devotee of the "Histogram" when it comes to making my adjustments.
