Baker Beach, San Francisco

Baker Beach is a small beach just west of the Golden Gate Bridge. On this day the fog was rolling in with periodic glimpses of the sun. Everyone was smiling, strolling, and marveling at the lighting effects. It was a beautiful day to be alive!

While unpacking my Hasselblad I noticed a fellow playing with his dogs in the surf. The first picture, and the best, is displayed below. If you look closely you can see a small dark object suspended over the ocean. I thought it was a dust spot on the first print but closer inspection revealed it was a stick thrown for the dogs.
