Old Town Sacramento

Last Sunday I went down to Old Town Sacramento with some friends. First we went to the Crocker Art Museum for the last day of their Warner Bros exhibit, and then we wandered around Old Town a bit.

My favorite picture of the day is probably this one, just because of its sheer randomness:

Dock and Tower Bridge

Dock and Tower Bridge.

.

This is the dock in front of the Tower Bridge on the Sacramento River. I used TiltShiftMaker.com for the effects on the picture–it’s supposed to make it look like a model. The original of this picture is here.

We weren’t allowed to take pictures of the Warner Bros exhibit inside the Crocker, so I don’t have anything to show of that, but suffice to say, it was really neat. They had, of course, tons of old sketches and animation cels, but what I found the neatest was looking at some of the old backgrounds done in the 40s and 50s. They were true works of art, actually quite rich in color and techique, and it’s kind of sad to think how little (if any) attention they got in the cartoons.

My other two favorite pictures of the day:

What can I say--I like trains

What can I say--I like trains!

This cat was hanging out under one of the trains and watching the world go by. Not a bad place to hang out.
