Urban Captures
Downtown San Francisco
The Golden Gate Bridge on a fine morning in 2012. The temperature difference between the colder pacific ocean on the right and the warm bay on the left caused fog to stream past the bridge and into the bay area. It was a magnificent sight and also an impressive soundscape, created by the deep, honking calls of the fog horns of ships and the bridge itself. In the back on the left you can make out downtown San Francisco.
Downtown San Francisco at sunrise. I hiked up a steep hill at Bunker Road, heavy backpack on my back, just in time to witness the fog rolling into San Francisco. Shot on Velvia 50 with a Mamyia 645 Pro.

Zuiderkerk. Getting lost is a good thing, at least for me. Well, not if I have an urgent appointment, of course. If I have time, I enjoy taking the little paths and to explore the side routes, which lead me to unexpected views and places. If I don't have a particular destination in mind, I walk more slowly, pay more attention to my surroundings, notice the little things, and in this case the big ones, like the Zuiderkerk (the southern church). This view is close to what Monet saw when he painted Zuiderkerk in Amsterdam in 1874. Like with many other old buildings I am amazed by what the master builders and craftsmen managed to construct so many generations ago (the Zuiderkerk was built between 1603 and 1611).
