Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park (Cellphone Photos) - Sunol, CA

Today, on 13 February 2023, my mom and I went hiking in Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park in Sunol, CA. Our original plan was to hike from Tyler Ranch Staging Area to Sunol Peak, but we turned back 1 km from Sunol Peak. Today, the heavy winds arrived a day early. When we were almost at the peak, we could barely even keep our balance, so we had no choice but to abandon the hike. In retrospect, we should have turned around half way up the mountain because the wind was already pretty strong, and it only got worse as we gained elevation. The wind speed at the peak probably hit 40+ km/h (25+ MPH). I took photos with my cellphones. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

At the beginning of the hike, a nursing calf was blocking the trail. All I could do was shout "DRINK FASTER DANG IT! (喝快点！)". 😂 I thought that was the worst thing to happen on the trail today. I was wrong. The wind was the worst thing to happen on the trail today. 😭

Fremont, CA (Part 7) - Niles Canyon Stroll & Roll

On September 22nd, 2019, I attended the 2019 Niles Canyon Stroll & Roll event where Niles Canyon Road, the part of State Route 84 traveling through Fremont, CA, Union City, CA, and Sunol, CA, is closed down for most of one day a year for bikers and pedestrians to travel on. I took photos on my cellphone and my Olympus mirrorless camera. The photos are split into 8 blog posts, 7 of which are photos from my Olympus mirrorless camera. I hope you enjoy viewing these photos!

Message From The Photographer: If you've been following me on social media, you'd know I've been dealing with vision impairment and gradual vision loss since August 2018. The conditions are neurological, so my vision isn't impaired the same amount on a daily basis, but overall it seems to be going down hill. It has slowed down and made taking photos, processing photos, using computers, etc... very challenging and somewhat depressing. Some days it is impossible for me to take photos or process them. I know these photos are from a very long time ago, but I'm only just starting to get around in processing them as I'm only able to work on them at a very slow pace. I hope you can understand, and I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.
