This was the super moon rising on April 7th over San Francisco Bay. Alcatraz Island is visible in the lower left, and below the moon in the sky from six to nine o'clock some birds are freely soaring. San Francisco has been in a shelter in place lockdown, but individual exercise (walking, running, hiking, biking) are allowed for exercise. I biked over the golden gate bridge and then hiked up a hill on the Marin side with my camera and tripod to catch this scene. The "pink moon" was not particularly pink but the sky above it was after sunset.
