Default Clipper Ships in the City by the Bay

We spent a great day in San Francisco today, found this beautiful Clipper ship while walking along the pier. What a grand ship this was, quite incredible. Hope you all enjoy the photos,its been a while since I've had any time to post, glad to be back.

This one was taken from the Bay Bridge in a car doing 50mph, wish the sky had not looked so dirty, it was a beautiful day, but the skies were smoggy.

The second shot is very good. Good captures from your car.

Nice set of shots, very enjoyable. You've managed to catch the majesty of the ships. I love the fog on the bay enveloping the golden gate bridge.

Thanks Heaterguy, I was surprised that they were as focused as they were.I'd love to get that shot standing still, but don't want to stand on the Bay Bridge.

Thank you. I loved the fog around the bridge too, I was so disappointed that the air never
cleared up that day, although it was beautiful and sunny the skys kept that ugly grey cast all day. It could have been a terrific shot....oh well, guess I'll just have to go back

Great images Debbie, I have always been a fan of tall ships. These are very nice.

Hi Mom, These are great! We have to go back with cameras in hand for another shot of the big city together. I also love the second one best! I think it is just amazing detail with all those lines and cables. Looks like such a confusing maze to me. Great lines and really nice photos! See you in the morning for our trip to Santa Cruz, CA. for the day. A day of beaches, rides and fun!
