The military cemetery on the hillside of the San Francisco Presidio. The Unknown US Soldier faces the Golden Gate Bridge forever.
Several lunchtime walks from work to this site. Sometimes I wouldn't even setup for a single shot, but this one rainy Friday, I found a headstone that silenced me, and still does to this day whenever I view this image. It's one of my favorites, and one of those shots where I was able to let go of the camera, and just shoot.
Hasselblad 500c/m 80mm Zeiss T*
f/2.8 @ 1/30s
