Rob Kroenert's photostream  

In the past I've had some good luck with photo conditions on NYE, so I thought I'd head over to Yerba Buena Island on the last evening of 2011 to watch the sun set behind San Francisco. This viewpoint isn't the easiest place to access and on previous trips I'd never seen anyone else, but apparently it's become quite popular - there were four other photographers this time.

Here's one more shot of the lunar eclipse this past Saturday. This is the earth-shadowed moon setting behind the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge just before dawn.

Here's my attempt to capture this morning's lunar eclipse as the moon set behind the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. I was certainly not alone - there must have been 50 other photographers out there at Crissy Field before dawn.

This sunrise was my reward for waking up an hour before dawn seven mornings in a row... Taken on the east coast of the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
