I tried to shoot this cross many times with my Fuji S2Pro and always got some sort of electrical disturbance that showed up as a pattern in the image. I was able to get this shot with my trusty little Sony P-200.
If you are in San Diego you should take the quick drive up Mt Soledad, it is a beautiful view of all of the San Diego area.
