Blatant Reality

This will be the 5th installment of my “Tranquil Tableau” series where the whole goal of it is to put you in a relaxed mood for the weekend (not to mention it gives me a chance to show off some of my awesome pics). This week’s pic is of some Cyprus trees(?) that were along the main road that leads from San Francisco to Monterey Bay (Yes, I was in San Francisco and yes I did enjoy it surprisingly).

Once again we find ourselves standing on the brink of the start of another wonderful weekend. Here is a picture to hopefully put you in the perfect mindset.

Here is a picture that I took while I was in Ireland last year. They had these awesome trees whose branches looked almost like fractals (Picture here and Definition here). Anyways, here is what I think is a cool picture of one.

Once again, its been a long week so this should help all of you relax a little. Here is a picture I took of a Welsh Castle while I was over in the British Isles last year.

This is the second installment of your “Tranquil Tableau” (aka “Pretty Picture”). Hope this puts you in a hiking mood for the weekend.

This picture was taken up in the mountains near Hendersonville, NC.

For all of you who don’t know what a “tableau” is, its basically a picture and I know that at the end of a long week I could definitely use a peaceful image to transition me into the weekend mode. So I have decided that I’m going to start putting up pictures the epitomize tranquility every Friday (hopefully). These are going to all be pictures I have taken myself which brings me to the second reason I want to do this: I want to show off some of my mad photo taking skillz. Hope you all enjoy.
