Still going on my San Francisco kick, I thought I’d post another one of the city.
This is an unusually empty view for a weekday afternoon in the area where the touristy Embarcadero meets the bustling Financial District. It was the holiday season though, and a number of people had already left town.
This was taken in San Francisco at sunrise about a month ago. I had arrived the night before and was jet lagged, so I woke up at 6am and wandered around the AT&T Park area, capturing this and other photos.
This shot was taken last week after dusk from Grizzly Peak in the Berkeley Hills, a favorite spot of mine going back all the way to college. There are few locations that I find more peaceful or meaningful, and I return when ever I’m in the Bay. Actually, one of the first “good” photos that I ever took came from this same spot and helped give me the motivation to stick with photography.
This particular photo was the last shot of the night and the culmination of several photos taken before, during, and after sunset. The red skyline was much less visible in person; the result of a 15 second long exposure.
I’m sitting at SFO right now and thought that I’d post this one before hopping on my flight. This is how I spent my evening last night, it couldn’t have been any more peaceful.
Last week I grabbed lunch with some friends in the Ferry Building on Embarcadero. Afterward I wandered upstairs to find that it’s surprisingly quite, a big shift from ground level. The second floor is not accessible to the public (without official business at least), but the guard let me grab a few shots.
I’ve thankfully escaped the cold of DC and upgraded to the slightly-less-chilly-but-still-cold of San Francisco. The sky was unusually clear this morning, so I decided to venture out last second to get a shot of the sunrise. Fortunately sunrise was at 7:20 so it wasn’t too hard to get out there.
This was taken at South Beach Park in SF, next to AT&T Park. The 60-foot statue to the right is “Sea Change” by Mark di Suvero. Enjoy.
