El Dorado
Sky erupts in color over a city still asleep on a cold winter holiday morning. San Francisco, Christmas 2016.
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.
A Red Dawn
The red bridge under a red sky.
Floating Triangle
Inferno
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.
Ephemeral
Rain soaked city wakes up to a sudden burst of color that faded as abruptly as it started. San Francisco.
Over the Bay
Swirling Warmth
High tide caused relentless swirls as a dreamy dawn breaks over Golden Gate Bridge.
Harbor
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
High tide caused relentless swirls as a dreamy dawn breaks over Golden Gate Bridge Kirby Cove
Pool of Fire
Pool of rain water near the pier forms a natural mirror. It's a chance luck in rainy season. I found it couple years back when I caught glimpse of a quick burn between storms, this time it was more assured and intense.
Barricade
Garden View
Finesse and Fury
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 :).
Near and Far
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.
Deluge
Fog rapidly engulfing the bay at pre-dawn, only revealing tips of Golden Gate and the skyline.
