Sometimes you just keep going past a place over and over again meaning to stop and just never doing it. Always on a time schedule, needing to get somewhere etc... I'm the type that likes to explore places. I do a lot of driving and drive by exits, roads, towns some in the middle of nowhere and I ask myself I wonder where that road will lead me and make a mental note to make some extra time to go down the road and see what is there. I have begun to take some time to go down these roads less traveled and am discovering some nice things. I'll be posting some of these images in the coming weeks. I hope you enjoy them.
I've gone over the Richmond bridge many times to go visit my brother. And as I go on the bridge I look over to see the remnants of a pier a partially submerged boat and I think to myself I need to go over there and shoot some photos. So one day in late October 2007 I finally did it
. I took the turnoff just before the bridge and went down the road.
To my surprise I went through what appeared to be a former Navy Base and it turns out that it was during WWII. Prior to that parts of it were used as
housing of the oldWinehaven winery circa 1907. The Railroad tracks crisscrossed my path. The tracks were used to ship wine and later supplies for the navy.
As
I wound my way aro
und the point I came across the docks,where I saw the tug boats etc... The lighting was wonderful and changed throughout the drive.

Your pictures are really amazing. i would love to go to San Fransisco sometime and take some pictures. I'm from North Carolina, so there's plenty to shoot down here, but it would be so awesome to go somewhere else.
