This is an amazingly beautiful image David! I tried really hard to get similar type images while I was in San Francisco on a visit (yes it was COLD and I finally had to throw in the towel LOL!) My attempt did not even come close to the beauty I see in your gallery. Fantastic work. #5662723David W. Orias March 19, 2008
