Low Tide Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

A storm front just passed over much of California, leaving cold, clear northern air in its wake. This photo is taken from the foot of Ashby Avenue, a major east-west route through Berkeley, looking west in the afternoon light. The dark lump of land in the center of the bay is Angel Island, a state park that once served as the processing center for immigrants from Asia -- the Ellis Island of the West.

It's low tide, and there is more to appreciate about the bay shoreline at this time. In this photo there are still some clouds lingering over the Pacific Ocean.

Could this be my last SF Bay shot? I know I've posted a couple others here recently, and I don't want you all to think that this is all I photograph!

But hope you enjoy. Feel free to share your opinions directly with me.

buena toma Jose, me gusta eso que pienso que vos tmb por eso hiciste la foto, la relacion entre el tronco en la playa y las nubes en el cielo van paralelas y en distintos horizontes, me agrada la toma, saludos.

Hi my friend!

What an impressive view to San Francisco! What a lucky man you are to live in a place where you can obtain views like this one here!
I have no problem if you upload more pictures about SF bay, they all are awesome!
You have achieved a perect light, a very clean image, which enhances even more the result of it!

Have a great day José!

Cheers
Miguel

Hola Jose,
I don't mind at all if you keep posting pictures of The Bay, on the contrary... I invite you to do so! Great shot, my friend! The light is awesome and the general feeling of this picture is 100% my can of beer, you know what I mean!
I know it would be correct to say "my cup of tea", but... I'd rather have a nice, cold beer on this one. Cheers!
A big hug,
Fulvio.

Oi, José! Gosto das cores dessa foto, diferentes do azul mais comum. A perspectiva é excelente e o detalhe da ponte, ao fundo, faz toda a diferença! Bom trabalho, amigo! Abraço! Miguel.

Hola Jose.

Me gusta no solo el color de la foto, sino su absoluta horizontalidad.
Esto crea un grafismo interesante y muy atractivo.

Buen trabajo a nivel técnico.

Bien hecho.

A beautiful photo with an almost supernatural light in the three elements of our planet: water, land and sky. Good composition and great work. Congratulations.

Greetings!
