Titanic Sinking


IMG_0115, originally uploaded by M'roy.

One summer day last year, my husband and I found an hour to spend before we meet up with friends. Already on the road when we got the call that they were running late, we decided to just let the car take us somewhere, anywhere close by.

And the "car" took us to Point Molate in the Richmond/Point Richmond area where I planned to take some photos. What awaited me was this scene, a mini version of the sinking of the titanic. Can you see it?

The bridge in the background is the Richmond - San Rafael Bridge connecting Contra Costa County and Marin County. That is Mt. Tamalpais in silhoutte behind the bridge.

This is a perfect sight, and you captured it very well. Love the colours, the settings of the foreground all the way to the background. Just perfect. :D

@Dong--- I really don't do much travelling. It's just the place where I live (SF Bay Area) is replete with places, people, and culture to photograph :)

You are blessed by the 'photo material' around you. This is an amazing view with the sinking boat there. =)
