El Dorado

Sky erupts in color over a city still asleep on a cold winter holiday morning. San Francisco, Christmas 2016.

Intrusion

Another sunrise by the bay. It looked promising until low clouds intruded and blocked the sun. On a grey dawn like this, you could at least see the city moodily waking up from a good night's sleep :).

Awe

Its ironic that your heart skips a beat when you feel the most alive. This was one such morning, whose jaw dropping beauty still feels unreal. San Francisco, summer 2016.

Ephemeral

Rain soaked city wakes up to a sudden burst of color that faded as abruptly as it started. San Francisco.

Barricade

Scorched Relic

An explosive sunrise over San Francisco bay, at it's peak it seemed like a fire ball floating overhead. I have not seen such intense color ever since. San Francisco, 2016.

Swirling Warmth

High tide caused relentless swirls as a dreamy dawn breaks over Golden Gate Bridge.

Holiday Lights

San Francisco skyline lit up during Christmas holiday, embodying the spirit of this vibrant city.

Melting Candyfloss

Sky erupts in red and pink over the bay in an extraordinary fall sunrise. Its a long drive from my place to reach this location, where I tried and failed many times before. At the end, it was well worth trying again.

Towering Above

Iconic view of the north tower of Golden Gate Bridge standing tall in ever present summer fog in the bay. San Francisco, 2016

Swirling Warmth - II

Finesse and Fury

Over the Bay

Celestial Tapestry

One of the most beautiful and intricate sky I have ever seen at sunrise. Brightly lit cloud literally looked like a drapery, the pattern was so nice that I felt almost compelled to resort to shorter exposure to preserve it.
