Now that I'm an old guy, my sleep is often disturbed by biological necessity. Usually, I stumble and fumble around in the dark, but on those nights when the moon is bright, I am guided to my task by an unworldly iridescence, soft lunar beams that creep in through the blinds, splash along the floor, and remind me, even in the darkest moment of the night, of the precious nature of light.

When I go somewhere for a photoshoot I rarely have a specific objective in mind. That wasn't the case here. I visited Capitola solely for the purpose of grabbing a few clicks of the famous and colorful Venetians. The much photographed Venetians are a colorful cluster of bungalows situated along the water in Capitola. They can be had for a price, starting at $129 per night. Buffdawgus says check it out and be sure to watch out for those great white sharks. They've been known to sneak up and steal your latte while you're relaxing on the patio. Whaddya expect for $129 a night?

The old C&H Sugar plant in Crockett reminds me of a scene right out of the Industrial Revolution. A little sliding takes the edge off the crustiness.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.

There's nothing real special about this photo, unless you're a pelican taking advantage of the warmth of the late afternoon sun, to do a little preening.

I like to follow up a rough day in Corporate America with a relaxing evening along the Coast. I'm no longer able to consistently practice my philosophy "to start out slow and taper off," but I can try. As the Stones pointed out, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need."
