Week 2: Sunset on the Bay

This is kind of an older picture from my senior year of high school, but I took it during prom when we had a cruise on the Bay (I'm from the Bay Area). I have a series of pictures of this sunset as it traveled across the horizon, but this one is my favorite because the peaks of the bridge frame the sun perfectly. I love the way the sun reflects on the water and it almost looks like a road - the way it paints the water gold where the light hits it.   It was a rare clear night in the city so the light from the sun was uninterrupted by the usual fog. You can see the silhouette of the mountains in the back behind the bridge and to the left is the skyline of San Francisco. I can still remember how beautiful the sky was that night, everything was illuminated and orange (which was great because there was a Giants game that night as well). This picture always reminds me of how beautiful nature can be.
