Seaport Village, San Diego

Another of many photos I took on my trip to San Diego (it will probably take me weeks to sort through them all!). This photo was taken in Seaport Village, a charming tourist area on the San Diego waterfront with many shops, restaurants, etc for visitors as well as a large park with beautiful flowers such as those shown here.

City waterfront from the pier in San Diego

This weekend my wife and I are taking a short “mini-break” or vacation to San Diego to celebrate both of our birthdays. These photos were taken walking along the waterfront piers on Saturday afternoon. There was a Carnival cruise ship in port this day, and the area was filled with excited cruise-goers heading to the ship. As well, the waterfront is lined with beautiful, but whimsical art sculptures like the squid shown here.

This is a night shot I took last weekend of the Ferry Building and nearby waterfront in San Francisco. The skyscrapers are part of the downtown financial district. Coit Tower is also visible at the far right of the picture. You can also view a larger version.

While I like this picture, the highlights and neon signs are still a little more blown out than I’d prefer. I hope to get back to this location to try again for better results soon.
