A day at the Towe Auto Museum
The Towe Auto Museum is the home to many vintage cars. A great place to visit if you are a car nut, or like to take pictures of pretty shiny things.

Sacramento Reflections
Two modern, but famous, buildings in Sacramento. Taken just before sunset. The wind had died down and the reflections were just spectacular.

Wells Fargo & Co.
The old Wells Fargo & Co. building in Old Sacramento just oozes history.
On July 1, 1861, Wells Fargo took over direct management of the trans-Missouri Pony Express line. This building was the end point of the Pony Express and mail was take from here to river boats, moored just one block away, which carried the mail to San Francisco.
Wells Fargo is also famous for its association with the six-horse stagecoach which stemmed from Wells Fargo’s real history of using, owning, guarding, and operating them. So it is fitting to see a coach (one horse) here in front of this historic building.

Fort Point
Fort Point is in San Francisco, right under one of the pylons of the Golden Gate Bridge.
I needed to use 4 images here with this HDR as the sun was SO intense on the floor. I ended up using +2, 0 -2 and -4.
