On the west side of my little village of Fairfax begins a thin, twisty and curvy road that leads bicyclists and motorists up and over Mt. Tamalpais. One of the most beautiful roads in California, in my estimation.

This road has the rather unimaginative name of "Fairfax-to-Bolinas Road". Residents of Bolinas aren't terribly fond of road signs (((that is a whole 'nother story))), but I suppose Bolinians call it "Bolinas-to-Fairfax Road".

Anyway, I had such a fine time shooting these photos on Monday that I decided to return on Tuesday to continue where I left off. Unfortunately a film crew prevented me from stopping anywhere near Alpine Dam. According to the fellow who shooed me away, they had "rented" the entire area around Alpine Lake and I would have to move on.

Well, it happens all the time. Hollywood knows about the dramatic beauty of the Fairfax-to-Bolinas Road and its environs. I run into film crews frequently.
Ridgecrest Boulevard, with its dramatic drop-offs to the Pacific, connects to Fairfax-to-Bolinas Road and is a favored location to shoot automobile commercials. The last one I noticed on TV was an ad for the Ford Escape.

The top photo reminds me of several that I have taken over at our Twin Creek. Lovely.
