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.)

Hardly need to identify the subject of this photograph! It was taken from that place – the Wawona Tunnel View. Although it is nearly impossible to create a new view of this scene, I’ll mention a few things that are different from the usual “line up with other photographers and photograph the sunset” shots. This was done with a rather long lens – shot with the 100-400mm, it is morning, the actual light was quite hazy and filtered.

As to why anyone would shoot this spot… well, there is a reason that everyone stops and gawks from this spot… ;-) Sometimes I stop there as I pass by and don’t bother to even get the camera out.
