Walking with an iPhone: hazy day, Merced River, Yosemite Valley (February 2025).

#photography #landscapephotography #yosemite #StrollsWithAniPhone #CellphonePhotography #YosemiteValley
A typical layered Yosemite granite cliff face is mirrored in the Merced river under a hazy sky. The various trees, etc., are also mirrored; the overall tone is dark brown and grey — sombre.

A (typically) cold summer's day on California's Lost Coast… Mattole Beach, Humboldt County, a few years ago.

#photography #LandscapePhotography #LostCoast #HumboldtCounty #StrollsWithAniPhone #MobilePhotography #California #beach
An entire orange-tinged dead tree trunk with roots is washed up on Mattole Beach on California's Lost Coast. To the right, a very rough-looking Pacific Ocean; to the left, some low coastal hills in the haze. The sky's an undifferentiated grey.

A white Mustang is parked on the street in front of an older house and a picket fence. Behind the house, a tall spindly palm tree. The light is subdued. I walk past this place several times a week…

A brick wall stands up from a small alleyway; the wall is irregularly painted in red, light blue, and a sort of off-olive-green. There are two ornately-bordered windows in the wall.

First Lake, on the Lakes trail 9,000-something feet up out of Big Pine Canyon, in California's Eastern Sierra a few years ago. One of my fave day hikes…

#photography #LandscapePhotography #StrollsWithAniPhone #EasternSierra #California
An emerald green mountain lake (a tarn, we'd have said) lies in a valley high up in a rather dry-looking Eastern Sierra; it's framed by trees.

Oh, some inconspicuous bridge somewhere 😀. I’m only going to be posting here sporadically for the next two weeks due to travel; back more regularly towards the beginning of February…

The sunrise, the freeway (off in the distance), some local streets, a bunch of trees, and a couple of streetlights, all filtered through a typical Bay Area coastal fog, as captured on an iPhone while walking to the local coffee shop.

The eternal house, West Berkeley, this morning. I've been taking pix of this place for literally decades; it hasn't changed much in all that time.

A decrepit yellow(ish) and brown house with boarded-up windows sits on the street in West Berkeley; it has the word "eternal" painted on its right hand side.

Colorfields, North Berkeley (because why not?).

#photography #streetscape #Urban #berkeley #StrollsWithAniPhone #UnintentionalArt
A basically brown brick wall has various bits of graffiti painted over with various color fields, producing a nicely unintentionally-arty effect (affect?). The wall itself is topped by a bright yellow and black field.
