How was the reception over there?

800mm telephoto shot of @sutrotower.bsky.social from ~15km / 9mi away yesterday — randomly got a Canadian Forces Snowbirds jet. They substituted during Fleet Week in San Francisco for the US Navy's Blue Angles, grounded because of the US government shutdown. Heat distortion makes everything blurry.

A photo of San Francisco's Sutro Tower with a jet arcing downward through the sky over hills with lines of houses.

Horrible weather for staying home and watching television

What a beautiful day to be a tower

Morning fog blankets San Francisco with Mount Tamalpais in the distance under a pastel sky.

Friendly reminder if you're attending Outside Lands to bring a jacket. This isn't Lollapalooza.

I won't tell if you ditch work early to enjoy the sun. You deserve it. 😎

Good morning sunny San Francisco

Sutro Tower peeking above a sea of fog this morning, keeping watch while the city sleeps below.

My favorite birthday thanks to @illuminatethearts.bsky.social

Love above the city, color in the fog. @sutrotower.bsky.social calling all dreamers with beams of wild light. A cathedral of steel and lasers, born of Ben Davis and the @illuminatethearts.bsky.social crew. That night, San Francisco looked up and knew the dream was real. #Photography

I hope my friend Marty has a good retirement. I am a better broadcast tower because of him! ♥️

Millions count on me for emergency alerts, local voices, and adorable puppets with more integrity than half of Congress.

I won’t stay silent while Trump guts public media in the dead of night.

The sky is always clear if you're tall enough

Very shallow fog layer is spreading out over the City. Rare to see so much of @sutrotower.bsky.social above @karlthefog.bsky.social
