South Beach Harbor, Clearing Morning Fog

Morning, South Beach Harbor, Clearing Fog. San Francisco, California. September 16, 2009. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.

Moored boats float in calm water under morning high fog on San Francisco Bay at South Beach Harbor.

The South Beach Harbor is a favorite subject of mine when I take the train to San Francisco to do photography on foot. I often walk from the Caltrain station past AT&T Park towards the Embarcadero, which takes me right to this spot. If the combination of still water, fog, and/or early morning light is right I usually stop and shoot here a bit before moving on.

On this morning the water was just about as smooth as I’ve ever seen on this part of the San Francisco Bay. Although there was fog, it ws the higher variety that still permits long views across the water, and it was already clearing when I arrived.

Morning fog begins to clear over sailboats moored at South Beach Harbor, San Francisco, California.

On the first day of July – near the start of my summer break – I took the Caltrain to San Francisco very early in the morning and did one of my “photography walks” starting at the train station. I followed my most common route, walking past AT&T Park and then up The Embarcadero towards the Ferry Building. South Beach Harbor is just past AT&T, and at this early hour it is a very still and quiet place. On this morning it was still very foggy, but the fog was beginning to thin out over the bay, creating some interesting diffused light.

The water was extremely smooth on this somewhat hazy morning along the Embarcadero near the San Francisco Giants’ ATT Park.

(A note: It was something of a pleasant surprise when this photo emerged on the home page from the queue this morning. So much has happened in the last month or so – daughter’s wedding, moving a son from Seattle to the SF Bay Area, conclusion of another school year, etc. – that the day I made this photo seems like it might have been a year ago!)

In early March I headed out to the California coast between San Francisco and Santa Cruz for an afternoon of random coastal shooting – I was probably thinking seascape, hoping for some interesting fog and clouds, but I stumbled across a large group of wind surfers just north of the coastal town of Davenport.
