There are no ceilings overhead here other than the sky, no fences or walls that are not crafted -- by nature through time -- of rock and stone. There is sound but no noise.

There is space and beauty, room for my thoughts to wander and wonder.

There is peace.

Sea grass: it looks soft, but it's got an edge to it, so much so that I've never had a temptation to lie down in the midst of it.

But I do so enjoy hiking up and down the sand dunes, picking my way through the clumps of grass, listening to the distant surf, and looking far, far out to where sky and ocean meet.

There’s something about a road trip that captures the freedom of a Friday. This photo from a quiet highway in Virginia reminds me how small adventures can bring so much peace. What’s your #FridayFeeling today?

#FridayFeeling #Photography #RoadTrip #Virginia #TravelVibes #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt

A scenic highway in Virginia under a bright blue sky, leading to distant mountains. Bare trees line the road, and wisps of mist rise from the valley, creating a peaceful, open-road vibe.

Today’s small moment - one of my favorite photographs from Whitefish Point—even though the lighthouse is actually behind me. I’ve learned to always turn around during a shoot and see what else is there. This time, it was a lake freighter slowly appearing on the horizon.

I love beach scenes that include more than just water, sky, and sand. As in life, there are always extra layers waiting to be seen—if we take a moment to look.

Coming soon to my gallery at https://beautifulsunphotography.com/

Spring Has Sprung

Not far from my hometown in Northern California there is a road that leads up into surrounding hills/mountains. After a long winter with some very hard rains the local fruit and nut trees start bursting with blossoms in the springtime. I drove out Pleasant Valley Road, turned off onto Mix Canyon Road and a few miles up the road I was greeted with this scene.

Emigrant Gap

Emigrant Gap is a gap in the Sierras just past Donner Summit. It got it's name during the gold rush days where emigrants lowered their wagons by rope down the mountain to cross the American and Bear River drainage.
Now days it's just a beautiful spot along highway 80.
This area has easy access as there is a scenic turnoff right on the Highway with plenty of parking.

#EmigrantGap #BillGallagherPhotography #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #SunsetInTheMountains

Emigrant Gap

Imagine standing at a high mountain overlook just as the day is giving way to evening. Before you stretches a vast Sierra Nevada landscape, layered with ridges that fade gently into the distance. The scene is bathed in the warm, glowing light of sunset.

The sky is the star of the image. It’s painted in sweeping bands of orange, gold, and soft pink, with the sun sitting low—just out of frame—casting a radiant wash across the clouds. The colors feel warm and almost liquid, like they’re slowly melting into one another.

Below the sky, the mountains form a dark, jagged silhouette. Their slopes are covered in dense forest, but from this distance the trees blend into a textured, shadowy mass. The ridgelines step downward in layers, each one slightly lighter than the last, creating a sense of depth and distance.

In the foreground, you can sense the openness of the viewpoint—an elevated perch where the land drops away sharply.
The overall mood is peaceful and expansive. It’s the kind of sunset that makes you pause, breathe deeply, and feel small in the best possible way.

Mix Canyon Creek

This is a small waterfall half way up Mix Canyon off of Pleasant Valley Road in Solano County. Not an easy shot to get as there are very few places to set up along a narrow dirt road.
Mix Canyon Waterfall is the first image I ever entered into a photography contest. This image took first place in the color landscape category and came in second for best of show.

https://pixels.com/featured/mix-canyon-creek-bill-gallagher.html

#MixCanyonCreek #BillGallagherPhotography #MixCanyon #Waterfall #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt

Mix Canyon Creek

You’re looking into a narrow canyon where a small waterfall slips down a dark, rocky ledge, its motion captured in a silky, flowing blur. The water appears almost white against the deep browns and charcoal grays of the surrounding stone, giving the scene a soft, luminous quality—like a ribbon of light cutting through shadow.

Around the falls, the rocks are rugged and textured, worn smooth in places by years of rushing water. Moss and greenery cling to the edges, adding touches of earthy green that soften the hard surfaces. The creek below gathers the falling water into a shallow pool, its surface dappled with reflections and gentle ripples.

The whole scene feels intimate and tucked away—quiet, cool, and shaded. You can almost hear the steady whisper of the water as it slips over the rocks, a calming, rhythmic sound that fills the tight canyon space. The air would feel damp and crisp, carrying the scent of wet stone and forest earth.

It’s the kind of place you stumble upon only after a steep climb or a winding drive, a hidden pocket of nature that rewards the effort with serenity and motion.

Bridge Building

This is an image of the new Benicia Bridge. This bridge was built just down the street of my place of employment. So I was able to witness the slow progress of modern day bridge building.
On this particular day I was on my way into work and noticed the incredible lighting on the bridge. I couldn't help stopping to capture the amazing light.

https://pixels.com/featured/bridge-building-bill-gallagher.html

#BridgeBuilding #BillGallagherPhotography #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #BeniciaBridge #SacramentoRiver #GoldenGlow

Bridge Building

The scene opens under a brooding sky, where thick, slate‑colored clouds hang low and heavy, as if pressing down on the landscape. Against this moody backdrop, the new Benicia Bridge stretches across the frame—an immense spine of steel rising from the water with quiet authority. Its pale metal surfaces catch what little light breaks through the cloud cover, giving the structure a cool, silvery sheen.

In the foreground, tall grasses—dull green and wind‑tousled—soften the industrial weight of the bridge. A construction crane stands nearby, its long arm angled upward like a skeletal finger pointing into the stormy sky. Wisps of fog or steam drift around the base of the structure, blurring the line between land and air and adding a sense of motion, as though the bridge is slowly emerging from the elements.

The atmosphere feels charged—damp air, the faint imagined smell of wet earth and steel, the distant echo of machinery. The entire image carries a sense of tension and transformation: a massive human‑made structure rising through weather, time, and effort, captured at a moment when the light turns the ordinary into something cinematic.

Her thoughts were gentle, easy, quiet. This was no time for making plans, or worrying about the state of the world, or getting angry about something that someone had said.

This was a time for simply relaxing, being grateful for a hot bath and a warm room, and thinking about pleasant things.
