After taking my wife to the airport last night, I decided to pull over on Yeurba Beuna Island on the way home. I wanted to see what kind of view we had of the city at midnight and possibly take a shot. The city, of course, was lit up nicely and there was a nice cover of fog over it. I thought what the heck, let’s take it.

However, I didn’t want to take the shot from the same ole touristy place - I wanted a slightly different view. So I drove a little ways down the road to a cut out I’d seen in the past, climbed over some railing and ended up on a small dirt hill just off the road and to the right of the Bay Bridge. This is the view I was able to capture.

    Ally - this is truly now my favorite. It is absolutely beautiful. Again I say you have a good eye. I love the way you framed it. It’s as if you took it from a cave. The trees, the part of the bridge. The water you don’t see when you first look at it, then all of a sudden there it is. Beautiful my son.
