… and into the sky.

Most animals don’t want to get involved with a man with a knife, but this bird thought it was a rare opportunity for the best view around!

The western span of the Bay Bridge doesn’t always get the respect it deserves. Always in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge, sustaining earthquake damage, and generally being viewed as a mere form of transportation can’t make for an easy life. The Bay Lights changed all that, bringing the bridge to life every night for the last few years. After I learned the lights are coming down temporarily, I decided to post this recent night photo as a way to keep them around.

This wasn’t exactly what I was expecting to see on the opening night of the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, but when the opportunity arose I had my camera ready to capture this unique silhouette. Apparently someone had organized a conga line, and it just so happened to pass right in front of a ocean scape mural to provide a two tone backdrop.
