Description
Just learned that a good friend of more han 20 years has cancer, so things are a little unsettling at the moment.
This image was taken back in January of this year as I crossed the Bay Bridge. One of those things were luck played a major roll. I opened the window, held up the camera and pressed the release shutter, all while driving. As for myself, poison oak is gone, but the ear is still a small problem.
Thank you for stopping by

This is a very impressive picture. I don't think I can be as lucky as you if you call it luck. My luck would be the camera flying out of the window. Thanks for sharing your art. Prayer and thoughts go's to your friend of 20 years. Aloha

Naughty - naughty - naughty! No wonder Californians have a reputation as lethal drivers! Nice picture, by the way!

Sorry to hear about your friend, that is saddening news. On a brighter note, this is a splendid image, esp. considering how it was shot! I'm impressed. You postwork really brought out the drama of the lighting, nicely done!

C'est vrai que l'image surprend, surtout que je n'aime pas les villes et le bon. Puis les mots expliquent la noirceur. Je suis sincement dol et attrist de lire ce que tu as ris. Nous ne nous rendons compte quelle point la vie est fragile, et prieuse que lorsqu'une personne que l'on aime, ou soit me sommes confront la maladie... Je lui souhaite, et toi aussi, beaucoup de courage, et de force pour affronter ce terrible combat. Je sais malheureusement ce que cela veut dire... mais une chose est certaine, l'amour, l'amiti sont une arme redoutable, et tant que l'on se bat ensemble, on arrive souvent vivre mieux. Ton message me rame la maladie puis la mort de Giancarlo, et me touche d'autant plus. Mais il y a une chose que j'ai appris en luttant avec lui, c'est que la Nature sera toujours plus clente que la mecine... et qu'il y a tant de choses que la mecine ne pourra jamais expliquer et qu'elle ne marise pas. La volontde vivre est souvent plus forte que tout... Merci d'avoir partagcette intimit et cette souffrance avec nous. Et me si malheureusement, nous ne pouvons pas faire grand chose concrement, saches que tu n'es pas seul, qu'il n'est pas seul... Bien sur ce sont des mots, mais ils sont tr sinces. Avec toute mon amiti et le peu d'ergie qu'il me reste. Nathalie, toujours avec Giancarlo.

Another example of your BW mastery. Lovely composition and lighting. I know this spot on the Bay Bridge. This view used to be very different before the big quake. V

A clean and moody image in wonderful light. With an almost unreal appearance almost like the lego work of a small boy on a shelf (no disrespect to SF meant). Hoping that your friend can receive the care they need. Peace

Truer words were never more spoken, then as you have Ilona. For this photograph represents the very morning I drove in to see my friend for a brief visit.
