Eerie Sutro Tower

After I took this picture, the result showed only the moon and Sutro Tower's red lights. Aggressively wacky Photoshop editing showed that the camera found more detail in the last few shades of black, including the fog blowing through the tower and the struts' moon shadows in the fog. Everything else is noise and image sensor artifacts.

I love this "local" shirt with Sutro Tower. At the re-enactment of the fateful July 3 barbecue at which Rachel's water broke while she patted the dog Akbar.

Rachel makes a less-than-perfect tripod, but the jiggled exposure is kind of pleasantly psychedelic.

San Francisco's 2006 fireworks show. In a rare display, it wasn't totally shrouded in fog. There was a freezing 30 mph wind, though, where we watched from Tank Hill.

OK, so Rob and Des are smiling, reversed left for right, and Rob is holding an empty wine glass instead of a pitchfork. Still.
