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.

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.
