Dear friends,
I take pleasure in so many little things that it's very hard for me to choose, but I have to say one
of the simplest pleasure for me is to be near, in, and on …......

…
…. water :-) be it lake or ocean.
A couple of weekends ago, we took R's mom on a cruise of the SF bay and I took these photos which I hope will bring you a bit of the feeling :-)
There it is … the one and only … Golden Gate Bridge
I was very happy to catch one of the seagull in flight, and behind the sailboat is Alcatraz
Here you can see from left to right the Embarcadero, the pointy Embarcadero buliding and on the
far right hand side the Coit tower. The water is a lot calmer the further you get away for the GG bridge.
And here is the Bay Bridge and another seagull … yeah!
Herb Caen said it all :-)
SFO is in my mind the most beautiful, alluring, and romantic city in the US. It has all the required elements, mountains, ocean, the bay, and an all year round mild weather (even when it's shrouded in fog). The city itself is also sized perfectly, not too big and overwhelming as NYC, but sophisticated, and certainly cosmopolitan and culturally diversified enough to satisfy everyone's tastes and needs. Your pictures definitely capture the city's physical beauty and and its charming personality. It's one of my favorite cities in the world. It was also the place that Hien and I went on a first date :-) At Coit Tower in fact. Just stunning pictures !
ReplyDeleteHey, so you 2 coit-indentally fell in love? hi hi
ReplyDeleteI know you are a true romantic at heart!
Thanks for the nice review,

Wow, BiTi Babee, your magnificent photos should be used as postcards for SF tourism. The two I love the most are those with the seagulls. You were so lucky you were able to take a picture of the one flying so closely in photo no.4.
ReplyDeleteThis Saturday I was near this place with lots of pigeons and I wanted to take a picture of them flying so badly that I camped on the sidewalk for almost an hour without success. They flew too fast and I reacted too slowly too!
Thanks for your sweet compliments on my entries.
Have a great week.
