San Francisco SunrisePosted by Stephen Phillips (San Francisco, United States) on 4 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio. One beautiful morning... If you look carefully - you'll see a slice of the moon hanging here - on the left. Today we're beginning a tour of San Francisco - and I can't think of a better time to start than the crack of dawn. Taken from Telegraph Hill on December 23rd, 2008 - at 7:04 AM. (sunrise @ 7:23 AM) Canon 5D w/16-35mm f/2.8 lens at 16mm - ISO 50 - f/ 6.3 for 2.5 seconds. © copyright 2009 by Stephen Phillips Photography / San Francisco / www.joyoflight.com Your comments are invited.

But are those really lights on or rather the sunrise reflecting on the glass? Nice to see a bit of green grass in a cityscape, too! 4 Jan 2009 8:05pm @Lesley: Both. Lights within the canyons of concrete. Sunbeams reflecting upon the upper floors of glass. Cheers! Turnbill from Maine, United StatesBeautiful! I like the contrast between the verdant foreground and the urban background. It gives a real feel of what SF is like. 4 Jan 2009 9:14pm @Turnbill: Thanks for the kind words.
