Alfred Hitchock’s “The Birds” was filmed in Bodega and Bodega Bay. The famous school house from the movie is just over the hill on the other side of this church. I was exploring the area on a very misty foggy morning. I was initially interested in capturing the texture and shapes of the grasses in front of the barbed wire fence. As I moved to different locations I landed here and the subject morphed from grass to the “church in the mist morning light”.
