Back at Home

I am back at home after a wonderful week in Sedona with the red rocks. This morning, I decided to get up early, at 4 am, to chase the harvest moon with hopes that I might get a photo of it with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. I had been told by a friend that it was amazing yesterday, so, why not give it a try? I drove out to Emeryville and found fog over the gate, so I drove over the Bay Bridge thinking that I would see the moon over the City from Treasure Island. It was dark, I was not fully awake, so I overshot the turnoff, and what do you know, I was in the City! Keeping the moon within sight, I drove out to the Marina and ended up at the Palace of Fine Arts just as the setting moon slipped behind the building and out of sight. So, I set up my tripod and made this image.

I think my early morning foray into the City is kind of a metaphor for life, when you allow yourself to take each moment as it comes. Follow your instinct, follow your heart, follow the moon, and look what waits for you at the end of the road!
