That’s OK, I didn’t believe these colors either and I was standing right there… :-)

It was already a fairly colorful sunset, since there were thunderheads to the east and both middle and high thin clouds to the west. Not too long before actual sunset the clouds across the whole sky picked up this incredible color coming from the clouds to the west of me, and this light suffused everything for perhaps five minutes.

Three Ships, San Francisco Bay

Photograph of 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.
