‘Hands’ of Silicon Valley

Whenever I go past the new airport, “The Hands” always attract me. Today I was able to get a better snap since I went into the airport.

A Week Later

When I said the ‘winter’ color in bay area will be gone quickly, I was on spot.

Same spot this morning:

Life is short!

Who comes up with road names?

I wonder how the road names are given in the USA, because they appear so much random. Some cities have numbered streets and some don’t. Some names look like they have been lifted from some poetry.

In Silicon Valley, many road names come from the names of tech companies, mathematical and other scientific terminology. You can find here names such as Infinite Loop, AMD Place, Cisco Way, Logic Drive, Fourier Avenue, Fortran Dr, Marvell Lane etc.

The other day when I saw this very typical ‘silicon valley’ road sign, I did not forget to take a picture!

Syntax Ct

No marks for guessing that Syntax Ct is very close to Fortran Dr 🙂

Now that it has started raining, all the colorful leaves will be gone in a day, leaving just the hibernating branches.

Nature’s Weave

The number of days in a year where it goes below the freezing point in South bay are very few.

Here is a fantastic weave of ice crystals on my car, which I noticed on one  such day (November 28th, 2010).

Golden Way

Just as the temperature started dipping in the first week of December, bay area has turned really colorful! They won’t last long, and actually by now most of the color is gone from most of the trees in the area.

Little Corn Fields

“Little Corn Fields” is probably the most ill suited name for a blog. Well, didn’t Shakespeare say “What’s in a name?”

Anyway, I have been taking too many pictures on my Captivate these days. Just thought it would be a good idea to make a photo blog, sort of. Not that I am very good at photography or anything but just to document the daily life in the silicon valley.

If you are still wondering why this name, this link should tell you why.
