Pilings and Sky

Pilings and Sky
“Pilings and Sky” — Pilings stretch skyward at a San Francisco construction site.

On this April morning I was walking around in the China Basin, Mission Bay area of San Francisco, having arrived on the train at the Fourth and Townsend Caltrain station very early. After photographing some light reflected on buildings not far from the station, I wandered over towards the Mission Bay area. There was a lot of construction going on in this “neighborhood,”, and one particular block was a hotbed of work.

At one corner of this block work was well underway to set a large number of tall pilings into the ground for – I assume – a building that was soon to be erected there. I managed to maneuver myself into a spot where I could eliminate most of the other distractions and compose a photograph of these structures pointing toward the sky.
