Here’s another one from a morning spent shooting alleys in Escondido.

This gem can be found a few doors down from my office. It’s amazing how different many of these shops look from the other side.

The rain let up for a brief period on Saturday morning so I explored a few alleys around town hoping to find some interesting shots.

Closed for Business by Ryan Wentzel

This is an all too common sight these days. Though I work in this neighborhood I don’t get out of the office much so I was surprised to discover just how many shops are vacant right now.

Stay tuned for more shots taken in and around downtown Escondido.

I made a quick trip to Coronado Island tonight to capture the San Diego skyline before it began to rain. I was able to snap a few shots before having to pack up to get out of the rain.

San Diego Skyline Before the Rain by Ryan Wentzel

This photo has been on my Flickr photostream for a long time, but I did some more post processing this time around.

San Diego Skyline at Dawn by Ryan Wentzel

I think I prefer this version. The colors are more vibrant whereas the version on Flickr seems a little dull. If you’re interested in more skyline shots of San Diego be sure to check out the photo I took at twilight.
