Very nice. I was there one year for Fleet week, which always seems to be about the time Summer finally arrives in San Francisco... about 3 weeks into Fall.

Fleet Week is always beautiful weather wise. Great photos! I, too, really liked the shot above with the Golden Gate and the sailboats. Looks like you really got around the city. Thanks!

Incredible shots. You had some unique perspectives in there that I don't always see. Very captivating!
Where was the last one (and a similar view about half way through) taken from? Somewhere behind Petrero Hill? Maybe McClaren Park?

I've read about that guy on websites, but I didn't think that I'd come across one of the famous crazy people that I've heard about San Francisco having. I also saw Bushman but didn't know that he was famous, otherwise I might've taken a picture of him scaring someone as well.

Thanks! That picture of the Golden Gate Bridge was nothing too special to me, except that I had a direct, perpendicular view of the bridge.

It's from the Hunters Point neighborhood, I think. It's from Ingerson Avenue.
