Carousel horse in San Francisco
All of the pictures from Anne’s and my trip to San Francisco are finally off the digital cameras. (When I’ll get around to developing the film roll, I’m not sure.) It’s taking a little longer to edit them than I thought thanks to the LSAT course taking up 12-15 hours a week.
This horse was on a nifty carousel located on Pier 39. Next time you’re in the city, it’s worth a visit. The carousel is covered in intricate carvings of famous San Francisco landmarks: the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, Chinatown, Lombard Street, Alcatraz and the ever-popular California sea lions. According to Internet sources, it was built and hand-painted in Italy and is the only carousel in the country that has artistic renderings of its home city.
Stay tuned for more San Francisco pictures…
Ride Around Washington Slideshow
Friday, September 9, 2005
At the end of August Nick and I cycled the Washington coast with Cascade Bicycle Club. Overall, it was an interesting contrast to the Oregon and Northern California coasts. The roads didn’t follow the water as much as we anticipated, but they were beautiful nonetheless.
I finished compiling all our pictures into a 4 minute slideshow this morning. It’s set to music by Reckless Kelly (of course). Even if you’re not a country music fan, I think you’ll agree that it goes well with the pictures.
New Zealand or Bust!
Wednesday, May 11, 2005
Nick and I just booked our next cycling adventure - two weeks of riding in New Zealand’s alps. Whoo-wee! We’ll get to walk on a glacier, hike through rainforest, meet friendly New Zealanders, ride to Mt Cook and stay on a sheep farm! All that and we’ll get to try jet-boating, rafting, and bungy jumping, too!
(Can you tell I’m excited?)
The only bad part is that we have to wait until January...It’s going to be very hard to be patient for that long.
I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me until now, but don’t New Zealander’s drive on the left side of the road?
Big Ride Slideshow
Thursday, March 3, 2005
I finally compiled my pictures from the Big Ride Pacific Coast that Nick and I did last fall. Rather than post hundreds of pictures in a list, I put them in a slideshow to music. (Now that they are all together, I think it was worth the wait.)
Most of the pictures were taken by me, Nick, and Tim Byer. A few from Dave and Karen Derrig snuck in there too.
I’d recommend watching the small one if you’re on dial-up. The medium and large sized shows seem to play pretty well if you have high-speed access.
Rainbow over Bowness

Rainbow over Bowness, England | Canon D10 28-105mm
I’m working on getting all of our pictures from England posted. In the mean time, I couldn’t wait to share this one. It started raining lightly as we walked back to town from the ferry across Lake Windermere. This double rainbow was the result.
