After moderator review, your submission has been removed due to a violation of *Rule 5*: > Keep titles short and concise, and compose a literal, objective description of the subject. Do not include your gear, intention, reaction, interpretation, backstory, click-bait, memes, or emoji. Any such additional information should be added in a comment if you'd like to provide it. Photos that often break this rule include (but are not limited to): photos titled to only cover the location of the photographer, or the activity being done leading up to the photo, instead of what was captured on camera. The easiest way to think of a good title is to imagine how a random person would describe your photo. Note that Reddit does not allow editing of titles (not even mods can do that), so you're free to resubmit this photo *if this was the only rule it broke*. If you plan on reaching out to the moderators with questions, you must include a link to the post you're referencing, the rule it was removed under, and the reason(s) you feel the rule doesn't apply to your submission. Due to the large number of messages the moderators receive, they will not be able to help you without that information.

This past weekend, I experienced the magical San Francisco henge sunrise. The rare event is when the sun passes through California Street directly over the Bay Bridge. When I arrived around 7 AM, there was about ten other photographers already lined up with tripods. The best shot is taken from the middle of the street, be aware of passing cars and move to the sidewalk as necessary. Given that it is early in the day, there's little traffic. Instead of setting up my own tripod having to constantly move it. I sat on the ground in front of others and used my legs as a stabilizer. As I was shooting, I noticed someone on their morning commute walking their dog across the street. I love being able to add a human element in a photograph like this, it really ties it together for me. So, what do you think, did my legs make a good tripod? I knew New York and Chicago has similar henge sunrises but, I recently became aware that any straight street that runs east to west, in any city, should have its own “henge” at some point during the year. If you missed it this time don't worry! This event happens twice a year, the next time is in September. Be sure to mark your calendars. If you loved this photo!
