Old shipyard industrial structure at dusk with water, evening sky, and city of Vallejo, California in the background. Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Photographed on a night photography trip to Mare Island with in late March. Although we were there primarily to shoot at night under the full moon, I had a chance to do a bit of photography during dusk.

I was already set up to shoot photographs of the Golden Gate (in this wonderful, luminous, hazy morning light) when I spotted this flock of seabirds flying across the Bay.

Just before Christmas I had the chance to loop out to Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay (on the return drive from winter solstice at Muir Woods) and photograph the night skyline of San Francisco.

The parking lot near the entrance to the old Treasure Island base is always a great spot from which to photograph the waterfront and skyline of San Francisco – but it is especially good during the holiday season when many downtown buildings are lit up by holiday lights.
