The San Francisco Skyline at Night, from Tiburon, California

This is a night view of the San Francisco Skyline with Angel island and Alcatraz in the foreground and midground, as seen from Tiburon, California.

Here is a night view of Angel Island, Alcatraz and San Francisco, taken from Tiburon, California. This photo was taken a little later the same evening as the photo of Old Saint Hilary’s Church that I posted a few days ago. I left the church out of this photo and zoomed in a bit on the city.

Old Saint Hilary’s Church, Tiburon, California

This is a photo of Saint Hilary's Church with a more nocturnal look. — This is the same photo that I posted yesterday, but it has been processed to look more nocturnal. If this post has been shared, and thus is not shown together with the earlier photo, you can find the original image here. Of course, what the “original image” was is subject to debate in the digital age of photography and even back in the film era. For a good instruction in developing night scenes, see this.

Merry Christmas from the San Francisco Bay Area

This is a night photo of the San Francisco skyline with Angel Island in the foreground and Alcatraz in the midground.

A Night View of Angel Island, Alcatraz Island and San Francisco.

This photo was taken from Tiburon with a telephoto lens. As I look at this photo I’m wondering how far away San Francisco is. I’m guessing about 3 miles.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Old Saint Hilary’s Church; Tiburon, California

This is a photo of Old Saint Hilary's Church with Angel Island, Alcatraz and San Francisco in the background. — Old Saint Hilary’s Church, Tiburon, California

This is another photo from the same spot as yesterday’s photo. It was taken moments earlier and with a wider field of view. Historic Old Saint Hilary’s Church is in the foreground. It was built in 1888. Local citizens bought the property in 1959 after the Catholic Church deconsecrated it and was about to demolish it. It is owned now by the Belvedere-Tiburon Landmarks Society and is used for weddings and other memorable events. Between the church and San Francisco are Angel Island and Alcatraz Island. The area around the church is known for its wildflowers.

A View of San Francisco and More

Photo of Angel Island, Alcatraz Island and San Francisco from the City of Tiburon. — View of Angel Island, Alcatraz and San Francisco from Tiburon

There is a hill in Tiburon that is a nice place to photograph San Francisco from. You not only get San Francisco, but Alcatraz Island, Angel Island and a piece of Tiburon itself.
