I alway like reflections, but I don't understand this.
Where is all the red coming from?
Are they setting off fireworks? {he asks. looking at the shorter "square" building}

I imagine the red is from the 'port of' and 'san francisco'.

You'll have to be more specific. I only see clouds, nothing unusual. It was slightly windy and cloudy.

Do you mean the crane to the right ?

Pic was shot after midnight, FYI.

I didn't do any retouching on the pic, only levels and white balance in Lightroom. Out of the camera, there was an orange shot all over, and no blue at all.

To the left of the tower flying the American flag, to the right of the tall square building, and above the short square building, there are some bright white flare-like things.

I looked, but I don't know what you are referring to.

I think you're referring to the crane.
Open the image in a new tab and zoom in
