“Well we all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun, yeah we all shine on, everyone come on…”
~John Lennon
Moonset at Sunrise
“Instant Karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Everyone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you’re everywhere
Come and get your share”
~John Lennon

It is. I recently got back, exhausted, from a month in New Zealand.
When I was above Berkeley on two afternoons last October I watched the fog roll in over the Golden Gate. I wasn’t able to record it as nicely as you did, but I experimented with a different approach in which I underexposed by three stops and let the sun star in the picture:
