Golden Gate Bridge

Crabs at the fisherman's wharf

St. Peter and Paul Church.

St. Peter and Paul church is located in north beach. This picture is across Washington Park, it looks a bit crooked, but there is of course a hill. It is a neat neighborhood to explore. The cafeteria is closed has many more pictures of the church.

Alcatraz from the bay

How many times has a similar picture been taken of Alcatraz in the San Francisco Bay? This picture does have one thing going for it (and only one...) its a sunny day, instead of the usual fog!

Hyde Street Pier

Hyde street pier is down by Fisherman's Wharf, they have several old boats tied up there you can tour for a fee, I'm not sure it is worth the trip however.

New Addition to the San Francisco Skyline

San Francisco is undergoing a mini building boom. One Rincon Hill, the condo tower on the very left, is currently under construction, it will be 60 stories and 641 feet tall when finished. It is right off of the bay bridge, apparently I-80 is alone in its ability to convey ever expanding amounts of traffic with no upgrades ever. There are a couple other building that you can't see yet also under construction. Le Blog Exuberance and the SF Gate have more information and pictures.

Old Time San Francisco

A 1945 picture of a San Francisco cable car climbing Powell street hill from the National Archives and Records Administration. You can still ride the same line, the street looks quite a bit different though. The cable cars today:

Typical street

A view down a fairly typical San Francisco street. Its really tougher to walk it than it looks.

Contemplating life

What is that guy thinking? This is the top of Lombard street on a foggy winter day. (3 landmarks all in one picture! That is at least a tie for the most.)

Colorful Chinatown street

A colorful street through Chinatown. Remember, the postcards and other souvenirs are cheaper in Chinatown.
