Carson Mansion, Eureka

The Carson Mansion, Old Town Eureka, California The Carson Mansion, Old Town Eureka, California

Carson Mansion is arguably the most recognizable landmark on the North Coast. A Victorian-era mansion, it's a private men's club now so there are no tours offered. The nice thing about photographing Carson Mansion before dawn is that there are no other tourists out there. The lights are still on as the sun starts to rise so it's nice to able to get a good exposure with backlighting. Unfortunately on this morning, it was overcast until around 8 a.m. so I didn't get to photograph an actual sunrise at this location.

Thanks Sherri. I hadn't considered that before you mentioned it. Maybe now I'll forward this blog post around to all the editors. :-)

Thanks Ron. It looks kinda creepy now that I think about it.
