Photograph of the San Francisco Ferry Building with the clock tower. A small person in red is seen inside a distant arch.

Believe it or not, but this photo was made during lunch hour on a weekday – a very busy time in San Francisco. I managed to catch an unusual lull in the pedestrian traffic; my other photos of this general scene include many people.

As I drove up the Pacific Coast Highway between Santa Cruz and San Francisco last weekend I came across a huge flock of gulls on a beach where a river flows into the ocean. As if they had just discovered an amusement ride for birds, the gulls dropped into the creek, rode it to the edge of the surf, took off to fly a loop back up the creek, and did this over and over.
