Sunset Over San Francisco
For the last two years we have spent the Thanksgiving holiday with friends of long acquaintance and their next generation living in the Berkeley hills across the bay from San Francisco. On one of these occasions after the dinner was completed everyone was standing around relaxing and bringing each other up to date when I looked out the front window. I was not prepared for what I saw. A mass of low clouds hid the sun but they were high enough so the rays reached the bay and reflected toward us. San Francisco and Treasure Island, site of the 1938-1939 World Fair, were turned into darkened silhouettes.
Delta Sunset
Sunsets can take many attitudes and bring visual memories that stay in your memory. Two rivers, the Sacrament and San Joaquin, merge in Central California and form a major flow into San Francisco Bay. The Sacramento path goes through several miles of delta area. This part of the state is a great agricultural area with one of the chief crops natural wetlands, rice. If the fog remain through the day, the sunsets can be equally impressive.
