The Six Sisters

San Francisco

While in San Francisco this past September, Fred and I managed to locate Alamo Square and the oft photographed Six Sisters--also refered to as: Postcard Row. The sky was overcast and it had been raining off and on throughout the day. When we arrived at Alamo Square, the clouds were starting to break up and the sun peeked through a few times. I had hoped to capture the city skyscrapers in the distance lit up, but the brief opportunity for this was too quick for me to get the shot, and although we waited, it didn't happen again. This shot isn't much different from the many other images captured of the Six Sisters, but I'm still happy to have had the opportunity to see them and get a few shots as well.
