Golden Gate Bridge, originally uploaded by Sienar.

Just returned from a trip to San Fransisco, California and what an experience! San Fransisco definitely ranks up there as one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. It was a photographers paradise with a combination of man-made structures, nature and city life. This is a shot of the world famous Golden Gate Bridge just as the fog started to roll in. The fog moves very quickly here because of the strong winds. I heard a few others around me complaining about the fog ruining their shots of the bridge, but I was actually hoping of this! I think it adds a bit of mystery to it.

I also have a shot of the bridge against a clear sky, but that will come with a mass upload of all the photos I shot during my visit so keep an eye out for that.

Now it is mine again. It was not easy to secure the name. The person that had purchased it refused to make any contact with me, but after some time to think this through I was able to strike back! Worth the effort and the feeling of success is great.

After going through the long and tedious process of moving everything from the original server to reference the new domain name I’ve decided to just keep everything here. I like it here. The only thing that will change is that if you visit mangoandpeaches.com it will automatically redirect you here. So everything works again. My original email address is restored after 2 years and now I just have more email accounts than ever.

Hello.

I’m back home after an excellent and relaxing vacation spent on a beach off the west coast of Florida, which is still oil free! And don’t let the photo fool you because the time I spent there with my family and friends was beautiful. I just wanted to post this photo quickly because it is the first time I have successfully captured lighting with a camera! Very exciting for me

I will be uploading some of the photos as I finish sorting them all out, but I’m not sure how soon that will be. Currently I am organizing myself to get caught-up with the work that piled up while I was away while still trying to enjoy my time off.

I will be leaving for San Francisco in a few days so it will be a very busy week for sure. And the photos will most certainly pile up and keep me busy for a while.

More to come soon!

So I pose the question that you should be asking yourself now: What is your motivation and purpose?

Alabama: Its illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.
Alaska: Whispering in someones ear while hes moose hunting is prohibited.
Arkansas: Its illegal to mispronounce the name of the state of Arkansas.
California: You may not eat an orange in your bathtub.
Florida: If you tie an elephant to a parking meter, you must pay the same parking fee as you would for a vehicle.

Hello, I took some photos this weekend and uploaded them to my Flickr page if you are interested.
