My night Meet-up group had a long awaited for Meet-up up at Coit Tower, so T, DD, G, and I headed up to the city for brunch, then spent some time in Union Square window shopping, and shopping, and photographing the decorations around the city before meeting the Group at Coit Tower. As soon as we got out of the parking garage T read a text from a group member that the Coit Tower elevator was closed for renovations until mid-January! The fog was low and we thought the visibility would be poor from the parking lot at Coit Tower so we made a mad dash for Treasure Island. While on the Bay Bridge and half way there the fog was covering all but the tops of the city buildings. We hoped it held long enough for us to get the sunset and blue period. Unfortunately, by the time we got Treasure Is. the fog covered all of the skyline. So we adapted and sought higher ground.
After shooting the sunset we headed back to town to get something to eat. After a lite diner we tried Treasure Island one more time. This is what I saw.
You never know how long the fog will stay in place in the city. I heard the group that stayed up at Coit Tower got some wonderful shots.
