Description
I've been going back thru my foto files, finding things I didn't like at first. A second look, a bit more postwork, and things just clicked. I took this a year ago December, with my old camera. It's in San Franciscoand it was raining. My brother in law was so sweet, he'd stop in the middle of the road, just to let me snap a few more shots. I could've taken lots more pix, but I sure didn't want to push my luck. I might've had to walk home!!

Great work!
Cool one Marilyn, I think I have been by here
WOW - well seen and bless your brother-in-law to stop!!! The image is really telling a story... :)
Cool photo. Goes to show, if you can think of it, it is available in San Francisco. We lived there for two years, so I'm not just saying that:-) We with young kids, stuck with the beautiful parks, the ocean, the bay, and the fantastic restaurants. Was this a quick run through the Tenderloin?
What an interesting image!
a great photo! i like the colors of the night!
cool shot x
Interesting place for sure!and beautiful view point.The lights and colours goes well with the subject.Perfect!!
wonderful capture warm hug, Linda
the shot is wonderful. I personal do not beleive in these signs of the time
Superb POV and ambiance portrayed in this wonderful San Francisco type nighttime capture, Maz! Your brother-in-law was most tolerant during this effort.
Great POV and colors!
great capture...
I love the rainspots on the lens. It gives the shot another dimension, and increases the feeling of being there. Nice!
This is a fantastic, brilliant, lively image! I love the rich reds, the yellows, and yeah, the raindrops add a kind of supernatural element to the shot, given it's subject matter. It's so easy to imagine the spots as orbs. Fantastic work, and I love the angle. I also love the contrast between the garish (though beautiful) neon and the older style of architecture emerging from the background. Super!
TOTALLY WILD ! ! ! !
This is excellent Maz, love the tilt and the colour.
I must admit I am too much of a cynical old skeptic to believe in any of that stuff!
it really looks like it's snowing (does it snow in SF???) In any case, it's a moody fine shot of that kind of district in any city, and you got the glitzy sign-colors against that grainy night background, the way these neighborhoods look behind the glitzy street lights. A real night capture...And you might want to know that, years back, an old girlfriend loved to photograph; and whenever a bunch of us would drive to dinner, etc, the line was: "Who's gonna ride with the photographer???" (Said to mean, "who's willing to stop every 10 seconds so You Know Who can take her 2 million pictures???") Yes, I understand. And you shoot, thinking, "one more shot & they'll kill me..." Well the shot was worth it, I've seen these districts in many cities including my own...
