Wet San Francisco

The Beauty of Rain - Golden Gate Bridge

50 Shades of Grey in San Francisco

Weather alert in SF

Every year in February I attend the San Francisco Writers Conference. Never before it was this wet. An occasional shower or one wet day of the week I am in SF, that's all. Not this year. This year the weather forecast show rain, more rain and ... rain.

 Daily temp below average and even on Thursday it rained all day. Tho temps weren't as cold as the forecast predicted (14C and up) it still was cooler than previous years, where I often could warm myself in the sun during the day.

In San Francisco evening and night can be cooler always, when the fog comes in. During rainy days tho it's not that cold at night, al least it wasn't in 2019 ;) 

On the news a Microclimate Weather Alert: floods caused by the rain and it even snowed in Las Vegas.

Right. Climate change anyone?

Inspiring

Lucky for me wet streets are also very inspiring. I like to walk down the street early morning. It took me 30 mins to walk to the conference hotel, and Market St. truly was a beauty in the rain.

Day and night, in the wet it's all beautiful

Do you ever take photos when it rains? I just love reflections.

Cruise with Eyespiration

Leaving San Pedro port, Los Angeles

Since my first cruise to Alaska I am hooked on cruising. How I love this way of travel! To have a fabulous holiday and attend a seminar at sea at the same time is the ultimate way to travel onboard a cruise ship: you can write it off.

Onboard we will have a daily coaching and photography session. You will learn to See the world with Fresh, Pure Eyes. Visual consultancy is a new way of coaching, providing a hands-on method in which visual thinking and the visualization of complex issues play an important role. 

Eyespiration coaching trip

Eyespiration is a combination of positive psychology and pure (straight) photography. You can take pictures with any camera or smartphone. You can even take a mind picture. My mission is to help people and organizations flourish; using narrative coaching and creative imagination to See your brand story.

You can pick any cruise destination. The Eyespiration trip will take 7-10 days, prices start from €3500. This is a solo trip, having your spouse, collegues or children around isn't helping. Therefor I suggest to extend the trip with a stay with them if you wish to do so.

For more information go to MelanieRijkers.com and shoot me an e-mail. You can also send a whatsapp text message. Nederlands? Ga naar PuurZien.nl en klik op inspiratiereis.

With or without a camera, Eyespiration will inspire you to:
Clarify life goals.
Find inner peace and happiness.
Feel more relaxed.
Focus.
