California Beach Photo Sunset San Francisco

This shot was another HDR that was shot on a Nikon D3, no tripod. Just around the corner from the beach town of Costanoa in California.

The resort was great — friendly staff, nice rooms (with Aveda products) with comfortable beds (no TVs in the rooms, nice plus), breakfast was good. Highly recommend Costanoa for a weekend trip.

Wikipedia UNBLOCKED in China!

Mark it up one for the people. Wiki is now free in China. I can now (after two years!) finally edit something in Wiki.

I found this out by clicking on this link, “A list of nations who have not adopted the metric system” and the page just loaded.

I think they traded Wiki for Flickr though, because Flickr is now BANNED indefinitely.

Update: It’s blocked again. Hu is messing with me.

China Blocks Flickr [screenshot]

Great. Add another little site to the list. Flickr. Apparently, people thought I was joking about that Safari post a few posts back. I’ll let you in on a little secret, I wasn’t.
