Alice’s Restaurant stood quiet as I made one last stop after chasing auroras
On October 10 I went to a business meetup organized by the Swiss American Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco. On that day Earth was subjected to strong solar winds, which caused auroras way into the continental USA. After the event I drove along the Skyline Boulevard, a road that follows the ridge of the hills that separate the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. After taking some shots of the aurora, I drove home and stopped by Alice's restaurant on the Skyline Boulevard, a popular hangout for motor cyclists at daytime.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from four RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image by 95%. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
