I meant to post this sooner, but life got in the way. 🙂
San Francisco has been called The City of a Thousand Hills. It has been called other names, but please don’t call it Frisco (that’s in Texas) or San Fran. It marks you forever as a tourist.
Our geology is interesting thanks to earthquake and volcanic activity. Our area has quite a variety. I’m not a geologist, so I won’t bore you with the details. However, if you are interested, the USGS has a good bit about it. You can find it here.
For a city that only covers about 42 square miles, we have a surprising amount of hills. Many of those hills are parks and kept up by groups of volunteers. Sometimes, it’s hard to believe you’re in the city at all. Here are some of my pics from San Francisco and a few from the surrounding areas.
I hope you enjoyed my little rock exploration. Next time, I’ll post some rocks from elsewhere in the area.
