Photo: Dusk at Sutro Baths

Photo by PatrickSmithPhotography

Some background on the shot from the photographer:

I was thinking about some long exposures after I had photographed some big surf so I walked along the haunted concrete walkways crossing over what seem like ancient ruins. I did a couple of long exposures and as I set up for one last shot, a couple decided to plop right down in front. Rather than worry about it, I worked them into the photo by moving to the right far enough to get them separated from the dark background of the offshore rocks. That way they stood out well against the background. They stayed put for the entire time and 4 minutes later, I was finished! Taken February, 2010.

  1. Absolutely beautiful. Question to the photographer: How did you get the mosaic blues, greens, and reds on the ruins themself? BTW, does the photograph sell prints of this?

  2. Mel – click the pic to go to the photographers page on Flickr. Better place to ask those good questions! 🙂

  3. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for posting this, Sarah. I love it that you post beautiful photos by neighbors! I love the photos that rotate on the home page, too…

  4. Sarah, I realized that right after, I wrote the message and need to contact him. I have a place in my living room where this would be “loverly.”
