…The Yellow Brick Road

Description: There really isn’t much of a story behind this picture. I’ve walked around the Embarcadero area in front of the Ferry Building quite a few times now, so I was looking for something new, something different to capture. As I walked by this sign, I literally walked right by it and then decided to go back. The contrast of the yellow behind the black and white sign really drew me in. I made a few frames and after reviewing and processing, decided on posting this one.

I’m still not exactly sure what it is, but there is something I really like about it. What do you think?
