King Tide at César Chavez Park, Jan 11th, 2020 |
This weekend you have the chance participate in the California King Tides Project simply by taking a walk along the shoreline with your camera. Friends, family and/or a furry walking companion (on a leash, of course) may add to your pleasure, as would lunch out afterwards, but are not at all required. Or you might attend one of the many events around the bay instead.
A "King Tide" occurs when an alignment between the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon create an exceptionally high tide. And the California Coastal Commission wants you to help document it this weekend - February 8th and 9th - so the youngsters of the future may see how the shoreline once appeared. So be happy that the weather is supposed to be clear this weekend or you could get really wet.
Don't forget to check the tide charts for wherever you might be photographing.
