1. It's like Solly porn.

Thank you!

[Adsos Letter]

2. They're everywhere.

[Solly Mack]

3. Oh, I like trucks too, and industrial sites.

I know, I know. Weird.

Not because it is an industrial site, but because of the visual.

I also like silos, trains, the tracks....and, as always...power lines.

4. How 'bout ships in b&w?

This is at Benicia, California.

[Solly Mack]

5. Yes! I fairly swoon visiting shipyards.

7. Oh, yeah.

I love them all, but number 2 is my favorite.

I can't explain why I enjoy such things, I just do. Maybe the lines.

[Adsos Letter]

8. I'm liking b&w more and more.

I'm not sure why. I just really like it.

Benicia, California.

11. I think B&W is beautiful.

That shot has it all.

15. More passion in B&W

[Adsos Letter]

19. You really piqued my interest in it.

As I mosey along I find myself thinking more and more about how things would look in b&w.

I am wishing you the very best in the weeks and months ahead. (guy hug)

20. Thanks. I'll be OK. Black and White is where I started.

Black and White movies, photos, and TV's are part of my history. I have shoeboxes of black and white memories.

I think Black and White movies had a huge influence on me. Go pick up some Orson Welles movies at the library. My favorite is "The Third Man."

The classic film noir movie, "Out of The Past" is another choice. Fellini's "La Strada" is beautiful, and so is the story.

13. WOW!

Love these shots!

From where did you take the top photo - that's the Richmond-San Rafael bridge, isn't it?

The bottom one looks like the Carquinez bridge...is that right?

[Adsos Letter]

16. The first photo is of the Benicia Bridge (Benicia-Martinez Bridge).

It was taken from clock tower hill on the grounds of the old Benicia Arsenal. This building was originally constructed in 1859, although it underwent substantial repairs after an explosion in 1912: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benicia_Arsenal

This is the view looking to the right from the edge of the parking area in the image posted above. It sits at the end of the highest promontory overlooking Suisun Bay. There are actually three bridge structures; two auto bridges, and a railroad bridge. The bridges are at the left of the frame, and I think that is the Martinez refinery complex in the center distance:

Images #2 and #3 are of the old Carquinez bridge; alongside it is the newer Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge, built in 2003. I took that image from a restaurant called The Dead Fish, in Crockett, which overlooks that part of the Carquinez Strait. If you're ever there, and like seafood, it has good food and outdoor seating with a view over the water. Especially nice on a summer evening, although there isn't enough convenient parking if the place is busy.

22. I thought you might have taken it from the Dead Fish!

I've eaten there Jeez, I should know what the Richmond-San Rafael bridge looks like, I live in Point Richmond LOL

Thanks for the response - love your pics!

10. Nice

I like that soft color with the hard industrial lines.

[Adsos Letter]

17. I snapped it from the passenger's seat as we tore by on Red Top Road.

I was pleased that it came out as sharp and clear as it did, although my auto-ISO set at 3200, which produced a fair amount of noise.

14. That's a lot of moo milk.

[Adsos Letter]

18. Industrial dairying at its finest.

[alfredo]

21. We need more goat milk!

[Adsos Letter]

23. My wife would certainly agree with you.

I have never been able to acquire a taste for it. Our girls grew up on it, locally raised by friends.

[alfredo]

24. It's so good for you. I had a friend with goats and I would buy it from him.
