Trinidad Bay – Departing Shot

1916 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Early in the morning that Sunday nearly everyone down at the docks was heading out for a morning of fishing. Not long after we left the docks that morning we packed our cars and headed back down south to San Francisco.

Trinidad Lost Coast – Looking North

1903 1920 Liberty Thermionics

It’s right around Trinidad on the way up the California coast where there starts to be large rock formations out in the ocean. I think it’s one of the most spectacular things about this part of the coast. This eventually winds its way up the coast into Oregon and on to Washington. This particular view is from the South looking…

Trinidad Bay

1897 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Down at the water, right past Murphy’s Grocery Store is what i assume is called the Trinidad Dock. At least it’s located in Trinidad and is a place where people can launch their small boats. There is also a place for large fishing boats to dock and offload their catch as well as take on traps as there was an…

Jen and Deneb by the Fire

1898 1920 Liberty Thermionics

On the expansive deck of our house was a fairly large fire pit. We probably went through a quarter-cord of wood during the 4 days that we were there..

Mountain Sping V – Trinidad CA

1920 1908 Liberty Thermionics

I’m going to put up a few more of these stream shots before moving on to the rest of the trip. Here’s a detail shot of one of the small waterfalls. *nothing* was moving back up there. The moss just acts like a sponge at its saturation point slowly exuding the water that flows from above.

Mountain Sping IV – Trinidad CA

1912 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I’m pretty sure this is the picture i nearly soaked one of my lenses taking. I had retreated back to my bag to grab a wider lens and slipped as i was climbing back to my camera. I curled my hand around to protect the lens and took about half of my weight on the backs of two of my…

Mountain Sping III – Trinidad CA

1901 1920 Liberty Thermionics

The water was running down the hill at a pretty quick pace making for some interesting long exposures. It’s always difficult to understand after the fact, but simply getting in position to make this picture was a challenge. I had to climb up an uneven (and quite steep) incline with all of my gear. It was only about 40 feet…

Mountain Spring II – Trinidad CA

1890 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I don’t really know what to say about this one… i like the way the running water in the background plays off of what i think is a large tree root. Either that or laws of gravity aren’t working as expected. The moss that covered every surface short of the running water was quite impressive back there. It was at…

Mountain Spring – North of Trinidad CA

1919 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I’m going to try to go through all of my stuff from last week in (somewhat) chronological order. I was able to scan and prepare 19 images the last few evenings including the one from the other day. I don’t know that i’ll get around to posting all of them but… On thursday we pretty much hung around the house…

Turkey Carving – Trinidad CA

1831 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I should be back in the saddle now… i had a minor hiccup the last couple of weeks as i had taken a few weeks off from shooting and didn’t want to delve into my archive. We had the good luck of renting a rather excellent house up in Trinidad, CA for the thanksgiving weekend. Jason, Wendy, Jen, Deneb and…
