Sun Setting Over S.F. Skyline (from Yerba Buena Is.)

The setting sun silhouettes the San Francisco skyline.
With the help of computer software, I could plan my position and timing (date and time--of-day) so the sun would seem to pass very close to the top of the Transamerica Building (the "Pyramid"). A sailboat kindly passed by at just the "right" moment and further enhanced the composition. You can read here about how a shot like this can be planned.
