An octagonal corner tower of a Queen Anne house, topped with a conical wood-shingle roof. The tower has slate-blue shingle siding, cream trim, and white-framed windows catching low golden sunlight. Leafy green branches frame the foreground against a blue sky streaked with thin clouds. A close-up of a sandstone wall, filling the frame with horizontal bands of terracotta and salmon-colored rock. Fine parallel layers of sediment ripple across the surface like wood grain. A close-up photo of a heavily rusted thick steel chain, its end link bolted to a weathered grey wooden post with two galvanized hex nuts and washers. Green leafy ground cover grows below. An elevated southern view of San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood. Rows of pastel-colored residential buildings — soft blue, cream, and tan — stretch back in a grid toward the Pacific Ocean. The Great Highway runs along the coast lined with parked cars, with Ocean Beach and its sand dunes to the right. On the left edge, the historic Dutch windmill of Golden Gate Park is visible among trees. Hazy hills rise in the distance. A walking path between green coastal dunes fills the foreground. Several crowded docks covered in sleeping sea lions; one sits upright in the middle, mirroring a piling. A couple of gulls sleep towards the edge of the sea lion pile. Close-up photo of sunlit driftwood splinters and bark fragments piled together, with a weathered log crossing the bottom edge. Photo of a twisted tree trunk coated in bright lime-green moss in a leafless winter thicket. Close-up of frost on a car window, mottled teal and pale speckles. Close-up of ear-shaped amber-brown jelly fungus cups on a bright green mossy trunk, with tiny pale mushrooms sprouting from the moss above it. Empty park bench facing Lake Washington at sunrise, with a snow-capped Tahoma faintly visible beyond the dark opposite shore, pastel clouds above. My Australian Shepherd named Ki looking off to the right, standing on a bed of yellow fallen leaves in a stand of trees with autumn foliage. A pebbly lakeshore on a gray autumn day, with a curve of yellow leaves lining the water's edge pointing at tall trees in orange, yellow, and green foliage, reflected in the calm lake surface. Dark clouds change to blue sky over Rialto Beach. Massive bleached driftwood in the foreground, heavy surf, surrounding misty tree-topped islands. Close-up of an old-growth trunk, furrowed bark draped in vertical moss, soft canopy behind. A tree trunk with green ivy vines climbing up its light gray bark surrounded by a stand of the same trees. Scenic view of Lake Washington from Magnuson Park in Seattle, showing calm waters reflecting an overcast sky, with dark evergreen trees framing a tiny bench in the foreground, and distant hills visible across the lake. A cityscape photograph taken from a high vantage point showing downtown Seattle buildings including the cylindrical Westin Hotel, modern glass and older concrete buildings, with 5th avenue running vertically straight in the center of the image, under a cloudy sky. A serene lakeside scene in the early morning, with calm water reflecting warm amber light from the rising sun, silhouetted trees and buildings along the distant shoreline under a hazy sky.
