Description

Taken from the walkway at Pier 39, Fishermans Wharf San Francisco - looking out at Alcatraz - it's bright light shining .... so near, yet so far ....

tv30, f8, iso100, 70-200 lens, tripod, mirror lockup and cable release

I kinda liked how the boats were rocking in the slowly moving waters.
Have a great weekend everyone!
