Black and white photograph looking up Second street from AT&T Park with San Francisco downtown and incoming fog.

I was leaving a Giants-Cubs game (Giants won!) at AT&T Park when I saw this scene looking up toward downtown San Francisco with the classic view of the fog rolling in over the city in the early evening. Yes, I take my camera to ball games, too. :-)

Point Reyes Life-saving Station

Point Reyes Life-saving Station

Black and white photograph of the historic Point Reyes Life-saving Station and dock with Drakes Bay and Point Reyes cliffs beyond. Point Reyes National Seashore, California.

This old building sits right on the shoreline of Drakes Bay, on the sheltered side of the Point Reyes Headlands. It was used until a half century ago as the staging area of rescues at sea, and it includes an unusual rail system for launching rescue boats. (It somehow seems right to show this historic building in black and white, and compositionally I like the effect a bit better as well.)
