One of the best photo threads I've seen this year.

Nice camera work!

I left a really nice blue Polo jacket there too. But that strip club is ghetto, strippers are nasty and they have some cheap self serve soda fountain like at MacDonald's. Never been back to that place and never plan on it but this pick brought back some memories, fuzzy memories too.

Too many hills. And what's up with the obsolete streetcars? I don't think I'd like it at all.

Seriously, gorgeous photos. I've made several trips there, and it's an amazing place both for the visuals and the climate.

If you pick your route, time the stoplights, and apply the "Idaho Stop" rule to some stop signs, you can coast all the way from the top of Twin Peaks to the Ferry Terminal on a bike without pedaling and without stopping. Going the other way probably wouldn't be as much fun.

Whoa thread necromancy!

Still a good set though. I still have yet to visit but I can't help but imagine that San Francisco is a great city given the way it looks. It's pretty unique in North America as an older city with an exceptionally good natural setting.

These are outstanding photos. I'm glad this thread was brought back to life. PigBoy has probably graduated by now!

nice set, cool, geography conference. I did my undergrad in Geography at Berkeley and worked as an "environmental consultant" - I tested leaky storage tanks at gas stations. I also worked for a geology company intepreting earthquake maps - sounds cool but totally lame. I moved on to Urban Planning to study cities and get a job outside of environmental consulting and GIS-cartography, academics, etc. I am now an Architect, went back for that degree too, but would love to get back to Geography later in my career. i love maps, maybe I should join AAG.

Meh, I wouldn't recommend it if you're not in academia anymore. It's not good for much else. I'm still hanging on just as an excuse to go on an annual 5-day bender with my friends in an interesting city.

Yup, Geographers rule. I myself have a Geography degree and a Master's in Planning. I'm now a GIS analyst doing transportation planning.

Well, there is the whole field of urban planning!!!!!
You should seriously consider (if you haven't already) including GIS in your studies, as there are lots of opportunities with GIS.

Anyway, back on topic. Very nice photos! I really want to see SF someday.

Really nice photos. I'm going to be subletting a place on Russian Hill in the spring. I'm excited to spend my weekends in the City.
