I miss traveling. I’m keeping myself sane through photos from past trips. Here is one from my last SF trip. I had a great time exploring the Golden Gate Bridge Park.

SF Fog
I hope you have a great weekend. We don’t plan to do much, which is going to be a good thing.
Tonight’s photo is from my last trip to San Francisco. I know they get fog all the time, but I felt lucky to experience it while I was there. As you can see, it was just starting to roll into the bay from the Pacific Ocean.

Trolley
This is from my last trip to San Francisco. Better times. All the times I’ve been to San Fran, I’ve never ridden on the Trolley, but I have visited Alcatraz Prison (seen in the background).
Old and New
I like this city photo a bunch and I’m not really sure why. Its probably just the contrast between the old building and the new skyscraper in the background. I took this last fall while I was in San Francisco. I spent probably 8 hours over three days just walking around the city capturing random photos here and there. It will be interesting to see if you like it as much as I do. There are photos I expect to get lots of love that do and others that surprise me and don’t. But I don’t know what to expect with this one. So let’s find out.

Grace Cathedral
I hope everyone had a great week. My week (really the last four weeks) was extremely busy. Anyway, I don’t want to bore you with work…… Here is a picture I took of the inside of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. MJ and I explored the city from one end to the other. As normal, I had a long shot list (a list of destinations I wanted to photograph) that took us all over the place. And as usual, I have the best wife in the world. She followed me around, waited while I photographed every location from every angle and tried to hide her boredom. What more could I ask for?
Anyway, one of the locations on my list was this wonderful church. This is an Episcopal cathedral in the Nob Hill area of SF. This was built in 1906 after the original Grace Cathedral was destroyed by fire following the 1906 earthquake.

Alcatraz Water Tower
I have something different for you today. While we were in San Francisco, I did a
tour of Alcatraz, which was very cool.
But I didn’t get many great photos while I was there. It was very difficult with all the
tourist, fog, etc… While walking
the island, I came across the water tower and loved the scene (I may have been
the only one on the island that even noticed it). There was so much fog in the air, that it blocked the entire
sky and masked the sun. It made it
look like a very overcast day and gave the sky so much character. So all of these elements seemed to come
together just for this picture.
I haven’t done many black and white photos in the past, so I hope you like it.
