Big Winter Storm in San Francisco this weekend: Some pictures.
Right after the big winter storm blew past, I ran down to Ocean Beach on the west end of San Francisco, and got a few shots of the sun, the rain, and the spectacular clouds and waves blowing around. I love the silhouette of the person walking dogs in the foreground, too:
I like the square crop of the next photo. It is all about expressing a mood - of solitude, of watching the remains of a massive storm, of knowing that the rocks are still there - battered, bruised, but still standing - even 85 mph winds can't knock these guys down, and how small we really are in this world.
I also liked the compostion, the negative space, what it leaves out of the photo:

We have heard about the storm from friends in the Bay Area, but I always enjoy seeing scenes such as these that can only be captured by observant folk once in a lifetime. These misty hues of places we know well would be worth painting. I like the way the person in your first photograph appears totally unaware of the fantastic view shown to us, of majestic clouds behind and ocean waves to his left—so colourful and poetic ;-)
