San Francisco was full of geographers
 

Went to San Francisco last week with all the other geographers in the universe for the Association of American Geographers conference. (Any other AAG folks around here?) I didn't come away with a great variety of photos, but I did what I could. I didn't really get much in the way of neighborhood pictures and even spent one three-mile walk without taking any photos at all. But whatever. It was a nice time in a nice city!

Everything but this one is just in chronological order.

The end.

I have a Geography degree... never found anything worthwhile to do with it unfortunately! lol


Amazing thread... saw this over on UO already... brilliant

I left my map in San Francisco.

awesome stuff, I really wanted to go to the conference (Im a geography grad student at the University at Buffalo) The photos are GREAT!!!!

one of the best geography grad programs around!

beautiful

Well, there is the whole field of urban planning!!!!!

Excellent pictures for the record, my next visit will hopefully be sometime this year.

awesome, Shes looking good I really want to go :)

Cool pictures. You did a great job showing off the city's density.

which requires an advanced degree... which is why i'm back in school... :banana:

My area of study at Ohio State was a specialization in the Department of Geography in the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences. So I guess I'm part of the "geography circle". ;)

Great photos btw! :)

Hey Pigboy, UW geography represent! I couple of my fellow geography major friends attended, and enjoyed themselves. I wish I could've gone myself. Thanks for the photos!

Great photos PigBoy. I love the angle of this photo,

The clash of different architectural styles and of course the Bay Bridge.

I want to be part of the geography circle :(

brilliant!+

Without trying (I'll take your word for that) I think you produced one of the best SF threads I've seen. You do seem to have got lucky with great weather--SF is not always favored with blue skies. But also you seem to have a very good camera and took your shots from unusual places. I'm guessing many of them were from Coit Tower (or at least Telegraph Hill) and some of the others were from an upper floor of a hotel (I think the Marriott). Am I right?

Very good photos of SF. Nice job.

So this is why I live here. No further comments.

Nice!

Love the layering of the bridge, port, and Oakland skyline. The pics of SF are great as well. :tup:

Gorgeous and very impressive density.

Just say nothing - amazing !

I know some of my professors went out there and I was going to go but just didn't get a chance this go-round, maybe next time though :(

san francisco looks beautiful as always

Too bad that city is so ugly.

I'd like to wrap San Francisco up and put it in a little box and send it on down the river.

Beautiful colors and nice weather.

Thanks everybody! The AAG conference is great because it's pretty much an excused vacation from school, at least in a geography department. I hope some of you other geography people will make it to next year's in Boston. Do it while you're a student if you can; it's a helluva lot cheaper! (Although frankly it'd be super easy to just wander in without registering, and plenty of people do.)

Yeah, a bunch are from Coit Tower and the other elevated ones are from Hotel Nikko. The conference was at the Hilton next door but there was some overflow into the other hotel.

great photos!

From one geographer to another: excellent photographs!

As a graduate in Geography from San Francisco State, I say you did a marvelous job capturing our city. Like someone else mentioned, one of the best SF threads I've seen!

very good pics

and stL. looks better? Naw....i don't think so

Beautiful! I'd love to visit San Francisco someday. :)

Great shots. I love San Francisco!!

Geographers always have a good eye, great pics!

Beautiful weather.

yay, coruscant!!!

Yeah this STLgasm and JiveCitySTL are both haters. I actually think they're the same person who has 2 log in names, which BTW is totally lame. Everytime pics of SF are posted he has to post some remark to snipe San Francisco. He clearly has some type of grudge. That's ok if he does but he should keep his negative comments to himself and stay in East St. Louis which is where he's probably from.

^Calm down, there, newbie. They were joshing.

Such an incredible city. Simply beautiful.

Wonderful pictures, thanks!

Great pics! :)

:rolleyes: Actually, they're brothers, and I'm betting gasm told his bro about this thread of nice pictures of a nice city so jive checked it out. And as for their comments which might have seemed like they were against San Francisco, no. Jive and Gasm are definitely not against it, and, they do have a sense of humor. Something that comes in handy around here. :)

wow

Yeah, we've been thinking of tearing it all down and calling in a decorator, but money's been tight :D

Seriously, though -- amazing pics.

cool

after i read it a few times (and other posts) i can tell there cool folks...:banana: ....sorry i just love the banana guy...haha

I was there for a couple days at the AAG (represent Denver University woot!) and had a blast...unfortunately didn't have any time to take photos nearly as impressive as those, way to go!

That's cool. Didn't want to start a ruckus. Just found it odd that I always see posts from them dissing SF. It's all good though. :cheers:

Beautiful pics of a beautiful city. My favorite city in the world.
