Back of a house in San Francisco, between two brown homes, a blue one seems semi-attached. A wooden stairway leads past it to the roof of another house above it.

Intricately carved depiction of the elephant deity dancing, surrounded by other figure and objects. "It is thought that when Ganesha dances he is playfully imitating the cosmic dance of creation and destruction performed by his father, Shiva."

A pretty tall (looks to be about 50 feet) two-dimensional statue/sign of a cowboy with his left hand raised and his right pointing toward a town on a highway business route in Eastern Nevada. He's outlined in neon tubes and has a cigarette in his mouth that looks like it "wiggles" in nighttime animation.
It's not the bustling urban center of Wendover, just West Wendover, but Wendover Will welcomes you and I suppose it can qualify for an #UrbanGaze...

Aerial view of a long straight tree-lined path that cuts through squared-off farmlands and vineyards and ends at a large triangular pond.
This is the Santa Rosa Creek Greenway near Sebastopol, CA. There are bike paths on both sides--paved on one side, dirt on the other. I used to bike this trail almost daily as part of longer rides. It ends at the Delta Pond, the triangular body of water at top. #MlevelPhotos #ColorADay #GreenSat

A hawk perched on a wire. It's a bit smaller than a Red-Tail, with black and white wings that can look almost checkered, and an orange-red breast with light white barring. The head is light-colored. Some say it's a distinct species from the eastern Red-Shouldereds.

View of a valley with a distinct trail and a ridge beside and above it. Beyond, the twin-peaked Mt. St. Helena.
Close-up view of the Linwood Trail.
Today I hiked higher than planned (700' elevation) on the west flank of Taylor Mountain, and got this view of the Linwood Trail on the northern flank, which I hiked a few days ago. I think we might have hit "peak green" here, as the warmer weather will likely dry things out. #MlevelPhotos

Seen from a Seattle-to-Santa Rosa flight, Mount Rainier rises above the cloud layer in a base of cottage-cheesy clouds, capped by a saucer-shaped lenticular cloud. Looks like a fine haze of snow blowing off the left side of the mountain.

Manly Beacon dominates the scene of tilted and upthrust strata at Zabriskie Point. In the distance is the low alkali flat that drains the valley to the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere. Beyond is the next range of mountains, the Panamint.
