SF Holiday Cheer

San Francisco Skyline with Holiday Lights Seen from Under the Bay Bridge. San Francisco, CA.

In the spirit of Christmas, here's a picture I wanted to share with you showing the San Francisco skyline draped with holiday lights. The Embarcadero Buildings are outlined with over 17,000 lights while TransAmerica's 6,000-watt beacon is also lit, making the skyline shines a little brighter during this time of the year.

While there are many vistas to enjoy the views of the bridge and the city, I bet most of you have not seen them from this perspective in person. Getting here requires taking some "creative" routes and hiking down a very steep slope. It's a picture I have wanted to take for a while, and I am happy that I had finally made the effort to come here during this holiday season.

Here's wishing everyone Merry Christmas and a Better New Year! God Bless!

Clean Sweep

Rushing Waves Sweeping the Beach at Natural Bridge Park. Santa Cruz, CA.

It has been a long while since the last time I shot from the beach. Trying to get my feet wet again - both figuratively and literally - I chose a spot that is easily accessible with very low risk to start. This beach is popular among locals and on any given weekend, you will see people of all ages from 2 year-old toddlers to 80 year-old grandmas strolling and playing here. It made no exception even on this day with high surf and strong rip current warnings posted at the entrance.

As sunset time approaches, I stuck my tripod to the sand and waited for the waves to rush in to take my shot. I like how the sweeping waves created these lines leading to my subject. Needless to say, I got wet taking this shot. There were not a lot of clouds that afternoon, but luckily most of them were in the position I wanted. Good times...
