Over the weekend we headed out to Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley to look for the small group of western burrowing owls that overwinter there. On Saturday, we didn't find the owls, but we were treated to a remarkable sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge.
I've often seen images from Africa where the sun looks incredibly huge while it sets over the horizon, and I've wondered why that happens and if it happens here too. It was amazing how large the sun looked, and it was a reminder of how quickly our planet rotates around its axis -- it only took a few minutes for it to completely pass behind the bridge and slip from sight.
Hey Pat,
ReplyDeleteI like them all, but the first one just blows me away! What a great spot and fantastic use of photographic skills. Mount that one up on your wall! I can't say much more it's really just perfect. Well done man; all the best
Thanks! The sunsets around here really can be spectacular, especially in the late fall and winter.
