Twilight Sutro Baths
Located at the west end of Geary Boulevard in San Francisco, this is a section of what is left of the old Sutro Baths that burnt down in 1966.
I just got this shot off using an aperture of f8. I wanted to include more star detail; however attempts to capture this view using a wider aperture, resulted in significant loss of image sharpness at the edges. Sadly, some debris pollution mixed in with algae is visible in the foreground. This kind of pollution in the parks system is rapidly increasing, and has unfortunately become a real obstacle for photographers.
I was however, just happy to get out this past weekend and explore a new location.
