A nice view and a great walk down. Heading back up was a bit more work.

The gold and white lights really accentuate the curves of this tunnel!

An unknown couple at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. They were having their picture taken by a photographer with a very long lens very far away. The bright pink umbrella got my attention and I was able to get this anonymous shot without getting in the way. Success!

An interesting pattern of sediment flowing into the San Francisco Bay. It might not be so pretty when you are in the water, but from up in the air it made a multicolor design.

Tea Lights. Some burning, some dark.

I’ve lived near San Francisco for years and never taken this shot to death and clichéd photo before? Looks like I solved that problem. DONE! Enjoy the Painted Ladies of San Francisco, and reminisce about watching Full House in years past.

The city of San Francisco from above. This probably isn’t the view you think of when you hear the words San Francisco, but you’ll find some very typical San Francisco elements in this photograph. There is Market Street (curved in the center) the Castro Theater, and of course the San Francisco Bay itself.

There are certain things that are good to know when strolling in San Francisco on a sunny afternoon. If there is a serious water emergency, and you simply must stop the creek, there is a big red button to do just that available to you! I’m not sure what made the button so sad that it was branded “Emo” for all of its days. Perhaps it was that no one has ever pushed it.

Under the bright light of the outdoor Farmer’s Market in San Francisco, this mushroom had a lot of texture to it. It almost looked dirty and gritty. If it tastes as interesting as it looks I bet it is delicious.

There is an incredibly scenic and little known viewpoint in San Francisco called Tank Hill. This particular view just after sunset really highlights St. Ignatius Church, but I happen to like the layering of the San Francisco Bay and hills in the background. If you look close enough, you can even see the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge on the left.
