The weather is slowly changing. The summer fog will give way to the winter rains. The other day, before heading off to the farmer’s market, we drove a couple miles south of San Francisco to Brisbane to watch the sunrise.
Sunrise at the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands
No matter how long I live here in San Francisco, I will never get tired of looking at the Golden Gate Bridge. The view from the Marin Headlands is magnificent and from there, one can see the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline. On the weekends, it’s full of tourists. On the weekdays, at dawn, it’s much more peaceful, with only a few people.

The Amazing Transformation of Crissy Field
Crissy field is an amazing place to go play, gather for picnics, or just walk the dog. It’s hard to believe that it was once a military airfield located in the Presidio between The Palace of Fine Arts to the West and the Golden Gate Bridge to the East. It wasn’t always like this. Once it looked like the photo below.

Sunrise in Pastels on the San Francisco Peninsula
Since Lastech has been working graveyard shift, we have adjusted our sleeping habits and now we’re able to get up early and go out to see the sunrise. Not long ago, Lastech managed to take some wonderful photos. The sky was beautiful with vivid pastel colors.

San Francisco Sunrise: Fire and Ice
Summertime in San Francisco means a lot of fog. It also means a good sunrise on occasion.
The Dogs of McLaren Park
San Francisco is an extremely pet friendly city and it shows. On any given day, we can find scores of dog walkers at the various parks with their furry charges. Since we live fairly close to McLaren Park, we like to go visit the duck pond and watch the dogs swimming and playing.
San Francisco’s Embarcadero at Night
I need a lot more practice, but I managed to grab a few night shots of the Embarcadero and San Francisco’s skyline from the pier.
Manic Monday Mish Mash
I was digging through some photos and found a sampling worthy of sharing.
Lastech is the first one up. He took the next two photos.
The fun thing about driving around in San Francisco is finding streets we haven’t explored. That way, there’s something new around every corner. That’s how we found these colorful houses.
Golden Gate Park, Stow Lake and a Waterfall
One of our favorite spots in the city is Stow Lake. Located in the middle of Golden Gate Park, Stow Lake is definitely one of the nicer features. Lastech took some nice photos last time we strolled around it.

Manic Monday and Yoda
Not long ago, we went to explore the Presidio in San Francisco. Located on the North East corner of the Presidio is Letterman Digital Arts Center, home of Industrial Light & Magic and LucasArts. The campus is beautiful with very nice landscaping touches.
Of course, going there meant paying a visit to Yoda.
Annnnd, since it’s Monday and everyone needs a good laugh, here’s a Star Wars video by OkGo.
