Fog over Albany Point
The incoming fog has obscured the view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin County, Angel Island and Alcatraz - and is only a few hundred yards away from Chez la Vache. Minutes after Louis took this photo, the fog was on his balcony.

With the summer-like temperatures of the last few days, San Francisco Bay's natural air conditioner - a.k.a. the fog - is back. Note that only the very tip-top of the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge is visible above the fog, while the fog has yet to completely shroud the north tower.

The Great Vigil of Easter
The Paschal Candle for the new church year is lit at the beginning of the Great Vigil of Easter at St. Mark's Lutheran, San Francisco. The acolyte bearing the lighted candle leads the procession from the plaza outside the church into the darkened nave. The service is illuminated at first only by candles lit from the Paschal candle. As the service continues, the lights gradually are raised, symbolic of Christ's resurrection. Alleluia! Christ is risen! Alleluia! Christ is risen indeed!dimanche 12 avril 2009

Inbound freight
We keep hearing that the economy worldwide is in recession, but factories are still turning out products and ships still bring the products in. This container ship (on the left side of the bridge) is bound for Oakland on this windy, hazy afternoon. A much smaller craft is outbound on the right side of the bridge.samedi 4 avril 2009
