Three Ships at Anchor, San Francisco Bay (Black and White)
Three Ships at Anchor. San Francisco, California. July 17, 2006. © Copyright 2006 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Three ships anchored beyond old dock pilings in luminous morning light on San Francisco Bay.
I frequently ride the Caltrain up to San Francisco on summer mornings and photograph along the Embarcadero waterfront (and other locations). I have been shooting this particular scene for several years now, and I never cease to be amazed when I find such a peaceful and serene subject… standing next to old concrete barriers as commuter traffic whizzes by a few feet away.
These ships are frequently moored out in the bay a bit south of San Francisco, presumably while waiting to go into port or perhaps leave the bay? They seem to drift and turn a bit as the tides flow, so their alignment and positions can change in interesting ways. On this morning I was lucky to spot three of them lined up so nicely!
