Walking The Embarcadero
Walking home from work one night I believe I arrived to see the bridge just at the right time. Not too dark or light, and it was a gorgeous night.

San Francisco
Looking out from my room at the San Francisco Hilton on Kearny, I can see Coit Tower, South Beach, Alcatraz, and the Bay. Another beautiful morning!

San Francisco Boardwalk
This photo didn’t come out exactly how I imagined it would, and so I’ll try again some other time, but last week while in San Francisco, it was such nice weather to walk along the Embarcadero Waterfront and enjoy the smell, the air, and beauty of the night.
As I walked out on the pier to get a glimpse of the Oakland Bay Bridge, I turned around and knew I had found my photo. The long lit pier with wooden planks and the Transamerica Pyramid looming in the background had my complete attention. Hope you enjoy the night with me, and next time I’ll post my 2nd attempt.

Coit Tower From The Waterfront
On the Embarcadero Promenade next to the Ferry Building, I also got a great look at Coit Tower.
Coit Tower (according to Wikipedia) was built in 1933 at the bequest of Lillie Hitchcock Coit (a well-known volunteer firefighter) to beautify the City of San Francisco. The Tower sits in Pioneer Park atop Telegraph Hill and contains murals done in fresco, egg tempura, and works done in oil on canvas. It’s open to the public - so next time you’re in San Francisco, put it on your list as places to stop and check out!

The Weekend
After a nice long week, a few days off is going to feel great! Hopefully you have some great plans to relax, and have fun?
This photo was taken looking back on San Francisco after a business trip to company headquarters. It being late in the day, the sun has start to set, giving a golden reflection in along the bay.
Wish me luck in my grass volleyball tournament!

I Left My Heart In San Francisco
This week I had the opportunity to visit San Francisco. I stayed a wonderful place in Sonoma to golf and then went into the city to get back to business. On the way I captured a few memories of this wonderful place I love to visit.

San Francisco Sunset
The Pacific Ocean, as it comes into the San Francisco Bay at sunset. I waited for about an hour here at the Marin Headlands, just north of the Bridge to capture the Golden Gate Bridge at night. This area offers multiple locations to photograph, and is a lovely place to visit.

The San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park
Sitting so close, yet so far away for Game 2 of the World Series - our company was situated across King Street at a fantastic tavern to cheer on the The Giants, who you have probably heard won. It was exciting being there, but I have to let you in on a secret - I’m still a Dodger fan. The parade in San Francisco happens to be today - Nov 3!

Blue Yonder
Heading out to San Francisco I noticed a beautiful scene from the airplane, and quickly snapped this photo with the iPhone. I felt like I was in a dream!

Stevland Hardaway Morris
Stevie Wonder plays in San Francisco to a private crowd of about 25,000 or so.
Stevie is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer and activist. Blind from shortly after birth Wonder signed with Motown Records’ Tamla label at the age of eleven, and continues to perform and record for Motown to this day.
Some of Wonder’s best known works include singles such as “Superstition”, “Sir Duke”, “I Wish” and “I Just Called to Say I Love You”. (Wikipedia.org)
The most inspirational part of seeing Stevie live was when he recalled his blessings, including that of being blind. I consider myself fortunate for having an opportunity of hearing his music live, and hearing him tell of his life.

City Lights
In December I spent a few days getting to know San Francisco a bit better, and although I didn’t hit ‘postcard row’ the city lights of the night were still mesmerizing in their beauty. It just gives me something to do the next time I’m out there.
