I'm up late, which takes me into another day already and a chance to post this before I go to sleep. Earlier, as I was leaving the house at sunset, I noticed some strong colors building in the sky and dashed over to a westerly-facing edge of the San Francisco bay that I can get to quickly to see if I could get some shots. Here's my favorite!

I'm guessing these are to shipping docks. well done in the fading light - the cables ans wires add a pleasing texture to the big equipment.

Great shot. Good composition, difficult to imagine the outcome after shooting, but your photo came through very nicely. This is the kind of photo I'd like to take. When I drive across the Bay Bridge on my way to work, I look over at the Port of Oakland with the early morning view and contemplate on stopping off at Yerba Buena Island to photograph the Port as the sun comes up. I'm sure there's a few photos waiting to be captured. TFS

Hi Kari,
You broke the 3000 already and I am just crawling behind you, but who can reach you with shots like this. Very imressively monumental. LOL janos

Love the strong and bold lines created by these silhouetted cranes and the pastel colours of the sky are just perfect. you've worked the potential of this scene really well

Great shot.

Hi Karen:
Beautiful sunset with impressive and powerful silhouettes. The vertical lines really catch my eye and hold it. A great shot of nature and industry with maybe a sense of feeling very small at the the sight of the overwhelming cranes... Gorgeous shot my friend......Roman:0)
