santa rosa, ca: largest city in sonoma wine country/north bay (sf bay area): 300 pix!

some background:

santa rosa is the county seat of sonoma county in ca. as of jan 1, 07, the population was 157,985, making it the largest city in california's wine country and 5th largest in the bay area after san jose, san francisco, oakland and fremont.

more than 7.4 million visit the county as tourists each year.

not having to work - i grabbed my camera and my water bottle, and off i went to document my hometown as best as i could.

so yea, all photos are mine, and all were taken 03.04.08. theres actually a little less than 300, but there were over 400 originally.
