View of the Bay
February 12th 2007
I wouldn’t normally hotlink an image, but this one’s dynamic and frankly, the load from this site won’t hurt them.
This is how I watch the sky these days when I can’t get my own eyes above the buildings. It happens to be one of the best webcams I know of, situated in the perfect place.
Update: changed to a static image as of 2/18
I’m somewhere down there. Just a minute ago it was pouring rain, and a minute later the rain stopped and the sun came out under the clouds right over the golden gate and the whole bay area was shrouded in red. It happens once every few weeks, but it’s very cool when it does. It’s like the world is pointing a big red flashlight at everyone’s face saying, wake up! You’re alive, ain’t it great?
And no, I don’t always watch the sky on my computer screen. I do actually go outside every once in a while…
