After Dark pictures in San Francisco

The following pictures were taken last week while working in the San Francisco area. Fortunately they fit right in with the Bi-weekly challenge.

The first two were taken from Treasure Island (located midway between San Fran and Oakland).

Popup Link Bay Bridge
San Francisco Skyline

The next two were taken down by Fisherman's wharf after eating at the Grotto. If I could retake the pictures I would have focused on the boats instead of the neon lights. I was hoping shooting at a small aperture would have had all subjects in focus.

Popup Link Castagnola's
Fisherman's Grotto

The last was out by the Golden Gate Bridge. I was pretty much done with taking pictures for the day and stopped on the toll side of the bridge. As I was heading back to get on HWY 101 I decided to go West a little more and found this view. The headlights are slightly blown out but overall still a pretty nice picture.

The only one that bothers me is Grotto--the rest are marvelous. Nice job.

I love the water reflection in Castagnola's. It's so still. Really like them all.

I like the two of the Golden Gate, so majestic! The first one makes it (finally) seem golden.

I thought the two shots of the Bay Bridge and cityscape were fantastic until I opened your last shot of the Golden Gate, beyond incredible. WOW.
