Overlook

Sometimes, I stop where Adams Ave. ends in my neighborhood to see if the Pacific Ocean is visible along the horizon. The location is sentimental—for our long time living nearby; the overlook’s majestic view; and for some of the felines profiled for my “Cats of University Heights” series. Among those seen in the vicinity: E.T., for Exotic Tail, and Alfredo and Shadow, both outdoor strays who passed away after living double-digit years on the street.

I captured the Featured Image (warning: 32MB file) yesterday, using Fujifilm GFX 50R and Fujinon GF63mmF2.8 R WR lens. The photo is composed as shot, converted from Raw with only highlights tweaked. Vitals, aperture manually set: f/16, ISO 125, 1/60 sec, 63mm; 8:59 a.m. PST.
