βοΈπ March 25th, SF distancing day nine. Spent nearly the whole day inside, drove to the beach (when we were still allowed to) as the sun set. Made it just as the sun sank into the horizon, just an orange dot filtered by the clouds(2). Ocean Beach was nearly empty.
As I approached the shore, I saw numerous small dark shapes in motion where the waves lapped the sand. When I got closer I realized they were birds, hundreds of them(3). Iβve never seen so many birds flocking together at the beach. Something in the waves made them briefly take flight(4).
The wind had really picked up. Orange glow on the horizon where the sun had been, the wind strong enough to blow ripples in the millimeters deep water on the sand(5). Walking back, the wind paused for a moment, long enough for the wet sand to sit still and reflect the sky(1).

Sunset at Ocean Beach on March 16th, the evening before distancing in San Francisco. A surfer calls it a night(1). A minute later, clear dark blue to yellow and orange gradient on the horizon, reflected by the wet sand(2 click the image for wallpaper original)
Earlier that day (a Monday) the mayor had held a press conference to announce the shelter-in-place guidelines. Near the end she literally said:
Β βThis is not the time to panic.β https://youtube.com/watch?t=3165&v=_VwHUvVyO_M
Which of course is exactly what authority figures say in natural disaster movies, right before everything goes horribly wrong. I went to the store and stocked up on groceries for 2-3 weeks, just in case.
Drove to the beach and watched the sun set, not knowing when that too might be forbidden.

π¦π Dramatic clouds last night at Ocean Beach. No sign of the setting sun, except a distant orange glow under the clouds above the ocean, lighting up strands of rain returning to the sea(2). Dark clouds hung over the beach, cracks in the distance letting in the light(3).
Just six minutes later the dark clouds had passed overhead, rain clouds to either side, revealing a twilight sky and dramatic clouds, a few with orange tinges from the distant sunset(4). Minutes afterwards the sky was even brighter(5).
As the sky cleared overhead, I happened to be standing in between rain clouds coming to shore(1).
Right place, right time. A moment of beautiful sky between rain clouds, before darkness.
