Quirky moments (#6 in series: “ghosts” walk steamy streets)

 

 

 

This post’s photos were not “manipulated”.

They were single-exposures, taken in available light (no flash) with a hand-held camera, on or near Market Street, San Francisco  on the night of 14 October 2012.

We had not stumbled upon the shooting of a scene for a “major motion picture” of the ghostly, supernatural, or steampunk kind.

It was just another normal autumn night in ‘Frisco – if one accepts that any urban-Californian night can ever be normal.

There is a non-supernatural explanation for the “surreal” appearance of some of this city’s central streets, most especially on chilly nights.

Freshwater driftwood, riverbed rocks (#59 in “a shining moment” series)

 

On 9 June 2015 the relevant part of the glacier and snowmelt-fed riverbed was bone dry.

But when the river rages, it uproots mighty trees, carries them for a while, then dumps them

Then, over many years, the consistently shifting, ever-swelling/shrinking river transforms their “skeletons”.
