I didn't have a plan in mind when I first started photography. What i did want to do is start exploring the areas around me more. I began to wonder all around the bay area and I found myself surrounded by something I was really starting to enjoy. I first began to travel to spots that I had been to already. Let me tell you that Google Maps has become my best friend. I remember trying to ask other photographers for advice on how to get to spots and I never got a response back. This motivated me to find all these places by myself even if I had to spend hours looking at a map. There were a few places that I found on the map that offer no kind of information, so I would make a drive and see how to get to these places. The picture above was taken at MT. Tamalpais located in Mill Valley, Ca. The drive from where I live is about an hour and a half. I drove up to the first parking lot of the park and there was plenty of room to park. The first parking lot is free and the top there is a fee.  Once I parked, I saw a trail right in front of me and decided to go ahead and hike it. As we got to the edge of the cliff I looked up and saw the perfect silhouette moment and decided to take the shot. It was definitely one for the books and the hike was one to check out again.
