High above Zhenyuan

This post is part of my Guizhou-China blog post series.

This was early in the morning and way before breakfast. One fellow even decided to count the stairs on […]

Moonrise over Coit Tower

Tonight I went to the Aquatic Park here in San Francisco to see the moon rising over Coit Tower. Right from the beginning I knew the timing was not ideal as the moonrise was 53 minutes before sunset. And I was right: I got an almost perfect alignment, but the sky was too bright because […]
