I love sunsets and photograph them whenever I can. This series of pictures shows the subtle gradual changing of light of a winter sunset in San Francisco. The location is that most wonderful of places, Fisherman’s Wharf. I love San Francisco, and I loved the constant bustle of the Wharf. The evening was very still on the water, which belied the activity on the land.

It was a wonderful day which gently merged into a magical evening. The smells, sights and sounds still resonate in my memory.
I waited for the sunset to photograph its progression. It was only much later, when I downloaded the photos, that I saw the silhouette of the man in the bottom left hand corner. I could not have asked for better composition. It was totally unplanned, unposed and unexpected. I am delighted at this gift of randomness. This is one of my favourite photos. See if you can spot him.
