Winter in San Francisco.
Bernal Heights – San Francisco, CA – Pick a Year
I love the lines of this photo. It was taken on the bay-facing side of Bernal Heights.
I spotted this random orchid on a windowsill during a walk through Noe Valley. The spot of color in the sea of white looked nice, so I had to snap a shot.
at the San Francisco Zoo. Taken by Bob.
While the time lapse was recording on my phone, I snapped enough photos to stitch together a panorama showing Karl stretching from the Pacific Ocean deep into the San Francisco Bay.
The Golden Gate Bridge is just barely peeking through the fog near the center of the frame.
20-25 minutes of Karl the Fog eating the California coast and foothills.
The selfie wall at Google’s San Francisco office, sans selfie.
PS – The views from the office are amazing.
Having spent a couple of days in the valley, this vantage point gave me a whole new appreciation for Yosemite. At 7,214 feet in elevation (1.37 mi/~2.2 km), the view from Glacier Point is magnificent.
From this elevation, the horizon is 104.1 miles (167.53 km) away. It was a beautifully clear day, so it seemed like we could see it all.
Yosemite Falls (to the left) was nothing but a stain on a rock face for this visit. The dry summer had taken its toll. Half Dome (to the right), however, looked magnificent towering over the green valley below.
