Description
Classic seascape and landscape scene featuring a sailboat with crew sailing in San Francisco Bay, San Francisco, California, USA, with low-lying fog enveloping the Golden Gate Bridge in the iconic background.
The Bay is a mecca for sailors (boats, as well as windsurfing and kitesurfing), due to consistent strong westerly-northwesterly thermally generated winds of 15-25 knots, common on summer afternoons like this. San Francisco Bay also provides protection from large open ocean swells. Yachting and yacht racing are popular pastimes, and the San Francisco Bay Area is home to many of the world's top sailors. This image includes open blue sky, low-lying fog, Fort Baker beneath the arch, and unidentifiable people.

What a great compliment, Jeff. So nice of you to say that. It's especially appreciated because I recently reprocessed this image from scratch, in PS Elements. Fortunately the learning curve was not insurmountable!

Joel, my trusty point-and-shoot came through again, so I'll give Canon some credit too. Thanks for such a fine compliment, and for your vote and fave.
