Commuting…

_mg_9475

For the past month, I have been driving back and forth, and back and forth, from the country to the city for this office project I am working on.

And because I often work with MALT (the Marin Agricultural Land Trust,) and they love to have photos of green hills for their annual reports… I have been trying to take the back-roads home, which has been nice because not only do I get to avoid the traffic, but I also get to build my 2009 library of green hill photos.

Here is my next installation of parallels between the two worlds that are not so far apart.

    I love it. You capture it perfectly of course!
    Your pics of the city are right on target.

    Are you in town on March 5?

    It should be a good moment for pictures. It will be a zoo with oral arguements.

    Love to you!

    Love the hanging laundry photo. I saw that in China all the time but never got a good photo. I think i would enjoy commuting more if i would take time to recognize the art in it…. great building shots, too. looks like stuff out of architectural magazines. and love the yellow car with the yellow window frames.

    I too go back and forth, but between Marin County and the town of Sonoma. It’s true that they are so close together yet worlds apart. Nice photos.
