Hi Folks,
I wanted to share a typical shot location for the san francisco skyline, taken from treasure island. However, instead of taking it with the lights on, I thought I'd take a different spin - make the buildings a silhouette and use the setting to accentuate the deep red sunset combined with the characteristic fog.

Your thoughts are very welcome.

Very nice, even nicer imo without the fog, but that and the sky together are probably truly rare!

Great Shot!

Thanks folks - you are right about the sunset and the fog combination being somewhat of a rareity.

i like what you did with this photo. You have created a mood that's different from most SF photos I've seen. It's like you caught the city in a sour mood. I like it a lot. Very original look and it seems very honest.
