I am on my way first to San Antonio but I have a quick pitstop (well two days) in in San Francisco. 

California from the Air.

I wish we had mountains.  These were wonderful to see.  I woke up just in time to pull out the digital.  I can't wait to see how these will look printed.

That color red was so striking.  I was later told that it was probably clay.  Just an amazing contrast.

I love to paint pictures of mountains and these shots - and others that I didn't post - are very inspiring.

The detail on the ground looks so much like a Julia set that I figured it would be appropriate that I should post them here.

The fog hanging over the city, it was fun to watch it roll out in the afternoon.

A couple of times I really noticed how close other planes got to us.  This is by the airport so I wasn't too concerned.

Here I am in Northern California.  It is so beautiful.

A rare clean shot of a building.  No wires - which seem to be everywhere.  I took this from the car window when we were stopped at a light.

At the University computer store - near where my friend Todd works.  Looks like the new tablets that I hear are going to take over. It was nice to get close to one, though I didn't get to play with it.

I love mirrors, and this little triangle corner one was very nice.

At the hospital they had this thing roaming the corridors and I am told it is a self guided biohazard robot. I got out of it's way and then it got out of mine, pretty near.  Though I am sure a self guided candy/coffee machine would be much more useful - at least where I work.

Golden Gate Park - from the car - over Jessie's shoulder and though the driver's side window.

The Bay Bridge.  We drove over this a lot yesterday, tommorow we go to the Golden Gate.

And yes, now I know the way to San Jose.
