I made this photograph in incredibly windy conditions. (I can hear other Point Reyes regulars saying, “duh!” at this point…) It was the kind of afternoon when no tripod is sturdy enough to really hold the camera still – so I waited and shot during relative lulls in the gale. If you look closely at the lower right corner you can see sea lions hauled out on the beach.
To expand a bit, the weather at this spectacular location is often quite different from that in other nearby California locations. The “point” extends a good distance out into the ocean here, with the result being cold temperatures, lots of wind, and frequent heavy fog. The fog was not present on this day, but the wind surely was!

A pole structure near the ferry landing at AT&T park in San Francisco with anchored ships in the distance. (I’m sure this “thing” must have a name – for example, “ferry bumpers” would seem to describe its function. I’ll be grateful if anyone can tell me what it is really called.)
