Yesterday I got to help a friend break in a new camera. The fog had fully set in and it was getting near dark, so we headed to the closest place we could think of to try to get some shots - Golden Gate Park. We parked next to the Conservatory of Flowers and started off in search of something interesting. Our best shots were at the AIDS Memorial Garden.
The Sutro Baths has to be one of my favorite places in all of San Francisco. It can also be one of the coldest. Today was definitely an exception. This is the sort of day that makes it easier to picture San Franciscans in the early 1900s visiting the bath house that is now just broken up concrete and rusting metal.
I spent this past weekend near Blacksburg, Virginia, not far from the Appalachian Trail and was able to get a few shots of the rolling hills, beautiful sky, and old buildings. There was a church on one of the hills that had been built in 1835.
Yesterday morning I drove to Stinson Beach for a hike. The trailhead is located just up the street from the fire station and early in the morning it’s easy to find a place to park. I followed the Matt Davis trail uphill to Pan Toll Station. The way out is nearly all uphill but the view from the top is fantastic. Off in the distance you can see the radio tower on top of Twin Peaks in San Francisco. You can either go back down the same way or take an alternate route to the Dipsea Trail and back to Stinson Beach.
