It was foggy in downtown San Diego early this morning.
As I walked west down Broadway, I turned back to see rays of light breaking through the gray curtain. Sunlight reflected brightly from windows along the edge of the new federal courthouse.
A few minutes later, the fog–poof–was gone.
The sky turned San Diego blue.

A gentle winter morning on the Embarcadero.
The rising sun tinted clouds across San Diego Bay.
Lights strung on the beautiful tall ship Star of India were on, creating a magical scene…

This chilly January morning I enjoyed a brisk walk. I brought out my camera when it was light enough for good photographs.
Come follow me from the County Administration Building north along San Diego Bay for a short distance. After returning back south, we’ll turn away from the water and head east on Ash Street, turn south on Pacific Highway, and end up near Broadway.
This morning the sky quickly turned blue after sunrise.

The sky was clear at sunrise this morning. The light strengthened gradually along San Diego Bay.
Golden sunlight glinted from the tiny jewel-like windows of distant Point Loma.
I walked by the water from the Broadway Pier to the G Street Pier, which was luckily open.
Splashes of light were touching trees, boats, and the downtown skyline.
I ventured out over the water and watched the sun appear from behind gleaming buildings.

I took a walk early yesterday morning. I headed from downtown San Diego up Sixth Avenue to Marston Point, which is located in the southwest corner of Balboa Park.
Near the south end of Marston Point, a flag flies at the center of a parking lot that overlooks the city. At the base of the 80-foot flagpole there’s an historic plaque. It reads:
ERECTED
BY THE
FREE AND ACCEPTED
MASONS
OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY
—
IN COMMEMORATION OF
THE ADOPTION OF THE
UNITED STATES FLAG
1777 JUNE 14TH 1927
A second, smaller plaque reads:
REDEDICATED
JUNE 15, 1947
According to what I found on the San Diego History Center website here, the Masons’ flagpole dedication was celebrated with a big parade.
Today the flag remains a landmark seen by thousands every day.
Early yesterday morning, as I arrived at the flagpole and empty parking lot, the rising sun was coloring beautiful clouds.

San Diego’s first “winter storm” is here. This morning the clouds were already gathering, making for a sensational sunrise. I got a beautiful photo from the top of Cortez Hill!
A bit later in the morning, bright slanting sunlight made the clouds over Mission Valley very dramatic. I took a few photos near Hazard Center (you can see the trolley line) and the San Diego River. I captured some cool reflections!

Sunlight gradually streamed into downtown early this morning. Like clear water, light rose in the long channels of glass and steel.
I wandered for a few minutes around Broadway, near Pacific Highway and Harbor Drive.

My walk through downtown this morning yielded several cool discoveries, including a fantastic mural that I hadn’t noticed before!
After stepping out into the chilly air and zipping up my jacket, I headed south from the top of Cortez Hill. The clouds were still fringed with gleaming gold.
I walked straight down Ninth Avenue and ended up near Petco Park. I then walked around the ballpark to catch a trolley for work.
Enjoy some photos!

This morning I spent a few minutes in Balboa Park’s Desert Garden, enjoying a beautiful sunrise.
I had hoped to take photos of new snow on the mountains east of San Diego, but they were too distant for my small camera. What I did discover as I walked down one path was completely unexpected, and indescribably powerful…
