My entry for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week.

While on holiday in San Francisco I was enjoying the view from my 8th story window but wasn’t satisfied with my night photography — the images were much too blurry, with a lot of distracting “noise.” Then I switched over to the monochrome setting and I was amazed at the difference in the images! I think the bluish tint gives just the right touch to the city at night.

Smoke from Northern California wildfires lingered even at 10 p.m.
