Thanks for your comments on “Moonlit Sonoma Coast.” I was very excited when I came back to our campsite on the evening I took that picture.

As great as Sonoma was, the trip to Desolation Wilderness was the highlight of the summer: 8 days of wilderness backpacking in one of the most beautiful parts of the Sierras. Not surprisingly, most of my favorite photographs from this year were from that trip. This one was taken on the first evening of our adventure. The clouds looming after sunset matched this tree perfectly.

Here’s another from our August trip to the Sonoma Coast. The light of the full moon magically reflects off the ocean after sunset. A minute long exposure blends the nighttime waves together. (Photographed from the cliff above Furlong Gulch on Sonoma State Beach.)

I’ve been getting some photographs ready for the PSR Art and Soul show on Tuesday, December 4th (a small art show for friends, alums, students, spouses, etc. related to PSR). I’ll be posting one every couple of days over the next few weeks.

The first is from our trip to the Sonoma State Coastline in August. Ever since we first drove up to Point Reyes through Sonoma County in 2005, I’ve been drawn to the open austerity of these hills. This black and white version is what I often see when I look at them. Click on the photo for a larger version.
