I saved my own favorite of the San Rafael Mission for last. Notice the line of the three crosses.

Mission San Rafael 5 – 2012
Only 100 meters from this quiet, pink serenity The Farmers Market was going on as on every Thursday through the summer. All of 4’th Street was crowded with stalls selling goods, food and produce. People were talking, bands were playing, the local tap dance group was dancing – some contrast!

This reminds me so much of my summer vacations in Spain, but we are still in San Rafael, CA.
Mission San Rafael 3 – 2012
Quote from Wikipedia:
Mission San Rafael Arcángel was founded in 1817 as a medical asistencia (“sub-mission”) of the Mission San Francisco de Asís as a hospital to treat sick Native Americans of the Bay Area, making it Alta California’s first sanitarium.The weather was much better in the North Bay than in San Francisco, and helped the ill to get better. It was never intended to be a stand-alone mission, but nevertheless grew and was granted full mission status on October 19, 1822.

What do shadows tell us of the objects that cast them? Can the shadow sometimes be a clearer image than the original? Is there always an original or sometimes just the shadow…
Mission San Rafael 1 – 2012
This picture is the first in a series of seven pictures of the mission San Rafael in the town of the same name in Marin County. There is a magic in the pink glow at sundown that I have tried to capture. The mission is set apart from the modern town surrounding it by its design and atmosphere.

I couldn’t resist posting one more picture from Fairfax Scoop with the double layer of experience the reflection gives.
Café Tranquebar, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2012
I aim to post pictures chronologically, and I’m not done with the pictures I took in the US. But I was suddenly left without my stash of pictures when it was time to post today. I picked this row of hats from Café Tranquebar in Borgergade in Copenhagen. It is one of my favorite places in the city – a combined book store, record store, fairtrade shop, and café. The hats were sitting at the top of a bookshelf in the black room, lit only by spotlights. My camera captured the magic of them in first try while still in auto mode.
Fairfax, CA, 2012
I am fascinated by shapes, lines, and color. The blue in the sign connects with the blue front next to it, and I find something pleasing and curious about the relationship between the shape of the sign, the store windows, and the bay window above.

Fairfax Scoop serves homemade organic ice cream, and on weekends people stand in long lines. Not this day. The girl with the ice cream and the colorful table accentuates the interior, the reflexion in the store front shows us the surroundings. The result is a pictures that shifts, depending on what you focus on.
