I had a couple of hours to spare in San Francisco earlier this month, so I walked around Chinatown with my camera. I wanted to show Chinatown as part of San Francisco. The city’s iconic Transamerica Pyramid is a few blocks from Chinatown, so I took a view looking towards the Bay. I did a little touchup in Photoshop, but the picture is mostly about pointing the camera.

We drove up to Berkeley yesterday in search of food and took the opportunity to swing by the Berkeley Marina on the way back, around 4:00 in the afternoon. The Marina looks west across San Francisco Bay to the Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the city skyline. The dappled cloud formation was unusual, and it masked the sun well enough to try a shot straight into the sun.
