Friday's Halloween Party

Oh no! Carrie got too carried away! :|

before the trilab halloween party!!


and after...

Epicenter Berkeley

Last month it was a hurricane in New York, now an earthquake in California... Wow! I'm a natural disasters' magnet.

Stars and bubbles

Jen and Chad's housewarming party,
proving that they're actually not living on the side of the road in a cardboard box filled with cats!

High-Speed Maneuvers

I'm not the kind of person who has a thing for the army, the navy or the air force, but I've got to admit, the Fleet Week air show is pretty impressive and fun to watch...

Aerobatic pilot Sean Tucker and the Oracle Challenger III

Fat Albert


and the Blue Angels, just showing off...



1, 2, 3 and 4...


hmmm... which way is up??

Occupy San Francisco

The Wall Street Protest spreads to downtown San Francisco...




and Americans do have peculiar ways of protesting...

Devils Postpile

Different perspectives of the basalt columns...



And we also found some Walt Disney characters on the forest, Bambi, Chip, and...
wait, where is Dale?!?



Sandcastles

Mono Lake, where freshwater springs and alkaline water meet to make rock...

Tufa towers, nothing more than "petrified springs"


Formed at the bottom of a lake 2,5 times saltier than the ocean and 100 times as alkaline...


Wild Old West

Welcome to the historic gold mining town of Bodie, once known as the most wildest, toughest and lawless mining camp in the West, it's now a ghost town preserved in a state of "arrested decay".

So lawless that even the road signs have bullet holes...





The town exists as it did when the last resident left, the interiors
still furnished and stocked with goods.



Peeking through a crack...



One of the old antique cars.
