The horizon in the lunch view photos isn’t straight :) Landscape photography is difficult, as our eyes tend to “edit out” clutter, and cameras do not, so many wide-angle landscape photos are not sufficiently simple to make a good photograph.

(give me hope!!)

Paul: Welcome, and thanks for visiting!

Tom: Yes, it’s pretty normal. We have virtually no rain at all most years from May-September, hence the “golden hills” of much of California in the summer/fall. I can’t remember the last time it rained, but the summer fog along the coast does supply a good bit of moisture.

Mary: I may drop in on Hawk Hill at some point this fall, although it’s not my favorite type of birding (too stationary!). The Golden Gate Raptor Observatory (GGRO), who conducts the annual raptor watch on Hawk Hill, has an excellent website: http://www.ggro.org/ . On the same site they have a chart with species frequencies, and it looks like mid-late Sept. is the best viewing. If you visit, definitely plan around attending one of their “Hawk Talks.” We went to one two years ago (see http://adampaul.wordpress.com/2006/10/21/hawk-hill-birding/), and it was informative, and they usually have a banded bird to show & then release (a Sharp-shinned Hawk on our visit).

Klaus: Thanks!

Cheers, Klaus

Your photos are so crystal clear (except for San Francisco). And it is surprising to see days like this that are fog-free for that area. I’m glad you both enjoyed your Labor Day, and thanks for sharing it with us.

BTW, Adam, are you planning to watch for migrating hawks in San Francisco area? If so, when is the best time to go? Late September? Early or late October? I’m curious since I want to go and I’ve never gone hawk watching in that area before. Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give me.
