and nobody noticed it except me, most likely bought by a Chinese investor who got tired buying up piece by piece of San Francisco so he bought the whole city and loaded it up on a container ship and it’s on its way to Hong Kong now. Lol. I
Think that was my luckiest shot in the 70 years I have been taking pictures. Still feeling lousy after a cold I got up early morning and drove to Treasure Island to take some pictures of the new Bay Bridge since they finally removed the old structure behind it. Just as I was ready to leave this huge container ship appears I lined up the skyline behind it and this is what I got. I can safely say you can sit at that spot for another hundred year this coincidence will never happen again. A shot of a life time.
Btw. No Photoshop manipulation, I am too stupid for that, I only trimmed off some sky and some water.

SF good bye.

Fun shot -- smart to sell to the Chinese before the "big one" spoils it.
