I Remember

Very SoCal

Stained Glass

More Great Light

This photo is, as usual, SOOC. I'm planning to spend some time this summer figuring out how to do some of that cool post-processing that others do. The results of that experiment remain to be seen.

Police at the Dock

Anthony's, one of San Diego's wonderful seafood restaurants, sits on the water and has a dock for boaters to drop off hungry passengers. Today the Police stopped by!

More Ships!

Cruise ships - from left to right: Coral Princess, Carnival Elation, Holland America's Veendam. Between the Elation and the Veendam is San Diego's cruise ship terminal (obscured in this photo by the trees).

Another Hummingbird!

Behind the Princess

I was so engrossed shooting the massive Sapphire Princess that I completely missed the fact that, hidden behind her, we had two other cruise ships in port!  Here are (from left to right) Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas, Carnival's Elation, and the Sapphire Princess.

San Diego's Swine Flu Windfall

With the travel advisories for Mexico, cruises that are scheduled to dock in Mexican ports are finding themselves in need of a dock.  Fortunately San Diego is happy to oblige.  Here you see the Sapphire Princess, originally scheduled to be in Cabo San Lucas, docked in San Diego's Big Bay.  We're happy to accomodate her 2700 passengers for the day - hope they enjoyed "America's Finest City"!

Check back tomorrow for the suprise I found behind the Sapphire!

Ships That Pass In The Day

The next 15 days may have sporadic photos ... and they won't be of San Diego - San Diego Daily Photo will be on the road in Hawaii!

Despite the doom and gloom of some weather-bugs, we appear to have clear skies for sailing away today.  In just a few hours we will be sailing this ship (Holland America's Zaandam) off to Hawaii for 15 days!  

Also in port is the Carnival Elation (that is the ship on the left).  We are lucky - the passengers boarding the Elation have a temporary "tent" which serves as their boarding area.  We have a very nice terminal building.
Aloha!

View to a Cruise

This was taken from a cruise ship while docked in the San Diego Bay.  The view off the back of the ship is of Point Loma on the right and North Island on the left.

Reflections of The Big Bay

Taken from inside a cruise ship while docked in the San Diego Bay.  The reflection shows the Star of India.
