Star Of India

The tall ships are in San Diego harbor this Labor Day weekend. Being at the harbor before 6am has it's advantages - ample parking, no crowds - and this morning a fantastic sky. A great expanse of clouds, with a perfect blend of moonlight and pre-sunrise glow.

I walked up and down the harbor front several times, checking out the various ships. The visitors are nice, but the Star Of India continues to impress.
