After checking into our hotel in San Francisco, my wife and I had an early dinner sitting out on the streets of the city and watching all the strange people walk by. There are definitely quite a few of them in that city. One guy walked into the restaurant where we were with two little dogs labeled “therapy dogs”. Apparently, they are some type of service dog for emotionally distressed people. I had not heard of them before. We speculated amongst ourselves why this guy needed therapy dogs. On the other side of the street was a crippled man preaching to passersby about Jesus. We could not really hear what he was saying cuz of all the traffic noise. It is always an adventure on the streets of SF.

Afterwards, we drove up to the Marin Headlands and Rodeo Beach for sunset. There were only a couple clouds in the sky. There wasn’t going to be any spectacular sunset this night. But I tried to make good use of those 2 clouds. I waited until after the sun had set, and for the clouds to light up with a bit of color. Then I captured a long exposure to get that really neat looking smooth look on the ocean water. This exposure was about 4 seconds long. I’m definitely pleased how it turned out.
