Nice capture of the Farallon Islands. Quite rare to see it so well. I spent 3-1/2 years here (mainly high school plus a bit of junior high) and I probably only saw them this nicely 2 or 3 times.
me too, should have been in the sixes at least. I haven't seen it this clear before either. To be honest I couldn't have guessed where the farallon islands were exactly. Well done.
Very nice! Looks like a painting. I like the vignetting. Years ago I was driving north to south on the Golden Gate Bridge when the Blue Angels flew between the uprights right over me.
