Historic Landmark

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.

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.

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.
