Unlike the cold and foggy evenings of the summer, this September Sunday evening was warm, pleasant and shows the best San Francisco has to offer.

Grey Whale Cove State Beach is located a few miles south of Pacifica, just beyond Devil’s Slide. I’d driven this section of Highway 1 many times but never noticed the beach. There’s a well-marked parking lot right off the highway but one can not see the beach from the road. There’s a trail and stairs that lead down to beach. Getting down is pretty easy but the stairs and be bit taxing on the way back up.

Fading Winter Light
As I drove up the beach in Half Moon Bay, I was enthralled by the dramatic light from the approaching storm. Just a minute or two after I created this image, the sky went grey and it started to rain fairly hard

I spotted this illuminated roof line while walking to Penn Station one evening after dinner.

Only a month out from the winter solstice, the sun especially at more northern latitudes radiates narrow but very warm colored light as it sets. Here it illuminates historic buildings in Brooklyn Heights.

This statue at the Brooklyn Museum is over 3000 years old but looking directly at it feels like you are in looking across space and time right into ancient Egypt.
