From the Dock of the Bay (R13)

Taken on June 21, 2013, this is a shot of Aquatic Park Pier with the Marin County highlands across San Francisco Bay in the background. I reprocessed the original image with the relatively new Dehaze feature and tweeked Highlights to bring out the definition and color of the highlands.

Tanks

I had some time to kill on Staten Island on Saturday so I took a drive along the southwest shore on Arthur Kill Road where I found what appeared to be a group of dilapidated tanks at the intersection with Chemical Lane. EdC_2013_00725-1The perimeter was fenced off with plywood panels but the essence of the scene was still visible from the roadside. St Luke’s Cemetery was adjacent to the property on the north side giving an ominous look to the view from that perspective (right). This area is a rich environment for urban/industrial subjects which I’ll need to revisit under better lighting conditions in the future. Click on an image for a larger view.
