 Radio/microwave facility on Grizzly Peak in the Oakland hills. I have better shots of the drifting fog without the buildings, but I liked the way they catch the light while the lower hill by the road is still in shadow.

Beautiful sky. Would like to see more foreground detail

A little dark on the bottom which is a little distracting but above the dark is great shot. 9

Too high contrast but no interesting enough to be a silhouette. No shadow detail.

nice scenic view, had cropped off (most of) the dark part, though

bottom third is dark, and sometimes it's ok, but in this case the sky is the main subject.
