Pilings and reeds, Petaluma River, Petaluma, California, 2007

The Petaluma River flows through the heart of the city. It is actually a tidal estuary linking San Pablo Bay and San Francisco Bay. The reflected pilings link the actual pilings to the reflections of the buildings in the river. The abstracted array of reeds in the foreground offers a sharply focused focal point and a sense of depth perception.

Thanks, Aloha, for this beautiful commentary. This is one of my favorite images from my Bay Area visit. It speaks of the work of both man and nature, echoing each other in abstract forms.

A wonderful study of lines and how they gracefully lead the eye in this image. The almost silhouetted reeds echo the ghostly lines of the pilings. Serene yet dynamic, this image is a visual treat with harmonious layers.
