Along with many other University of California Campuses, UC Davis students protested the election of Donald Trump to the United States Presidency in the early morning of November 9th, 2016. The demonstration was peaceful, with city and university police officers escorting the protesters through the city and campus. My own estimates for the protesters numbers are hundreds, possibly reaching 1,000 at peak participation. The march lasted several hours, routing along Russell Blvd, through campus, and back along Russel to Central Park and ultimately, the Davis Commons, where a last-minute direct action took place at the intersection of 1st Street and Richards Blvd. Protesters took turns voicing opinions, planning and purpose moving forward, before peacefully dispersing.

Continuing my project documenting Yolo County, today I shot the train station in downtown Davis (erected in 1913) and the surrounding railway. After assuring the officer who approached me shortly after I began shooting that I was not, in fact, a terrorist, I think I got some good shots. The clouds from the morning's rain made for some really excellent skies, something that tends to be rather flat in the summertime; and while it wasn't a terribly busy afternoon, I did manage to get a few travelers in some of the shots. Enjoy!
Sunflowers are one of those notable crops grown in Yolo county and surrounding areas. When you pass by the fields while they're in bloom it's really quite stunning, especially as the fields can be so massive.
Last week I drove to the outskirts of town to shoot a field of sunflowers at sunset. The bloom season is usually late June or early July, and while I was a bit late on catching them during full bloom, I think they do have a special quality during their wilting. |
