Description
I spent my youth living in Michigan all around the Great Lakes. I lived not far from Lake Huron for many years and moved over to the Lake Michigan side of Michigan upon graduation from high school.
When I was 20 I moved to Northern California and in a sense "grew up" in the East Bay. Life in the East Bay centers around San Francisco and San Pablo Bay. So even now, the bay is central to my life.
Just North of the Golden Gate Bridge is a small city named Sausalito. Sausalito is a beautiful city with hillside homes and docks that stretch out into the bay.
I took my family over for a nice day on the bay where we walked through town and had ice cream at a local shop. At the north end of the city is an old military base and Coast Guard Station. The tide was out that day so I was able to walk under the dock. I saw the repeating lines and patterns and saw how the light played with the water. I knew that I had to make this shot.
NOTE: I updated this image on 6/27/22 to reflect techniques in processing that I have learned over the years.
