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.
