San Francisco

I recently took a trip to San Francisco and here are my 5 favorite photos. All taken with a Nikon D70 and either the 18-70 kit lens or the 35mm 1.8.

-Dungeness Crab and Sourdough on Fishermens Wharf
-Boats at rest, Fishermens Wharf
-the wreck of the Sutro Baths, near the Cliff House
-Italian Cafe reflected in a motorcycle rear view mirror, North Beach
-playing with natural light at the Rickhouse Bar (an excellent bar BTW)

Thanks for allowing me to share these,

Jim

Nice Those crabs look good.

Thanks - I was lucky that dungeness are still in season. Had them for dinner at Scoma's on the wharf - very old-school place, reminds me of "Danny's" from the old Quincy show. Good crabs but too much work for me; I guess I'm spoiled by the king crab.

Nice pics! I live across the Bay and visit the City often...the Warf is great when the crab are in season.

Great photos. San Francisco is my favorite city in the US and home to Greens, the best vegetarian restaurant I have ever encountered.

Greens is quite a find isn't it? I haven't been there in awhile but the food is great!

Thanks for all the great compliments - here are a couple more to share:

-awesome WPA murals at the base of Coit Tower
-a young tourist waiting for the Cable Car to move @ the car turntable
-sketching Rodin at the Palace of the Legion of Honor
-blending of old and new: Transamerica Tower and St. Patrick's (I think?) in North Beach
-a sign near and dear to the heart of B and B'ers

Have a great weekend everyone!

The food is wonderful, and particularly for a land-locked Kansan like myself it's an incredible experience to watch the sun setting over the Bay through the windows.

Last time I was in SF I convinced a bunch of skeptical meat-loving friends to go there with me, and we all left stuffed and satisfied.

I've only been a few times, but North Beach is a lot of fun - I went to L'Osteria del Forno a few weekends ago and the food was fantastic.
