that's greatness! My last visit i stayed near Chinatown and i'd get up early in the morning and walk around the entire area at about 7AM and the vibe of that place at that time is incredible with all the shop owners setting up for the day and all the boxes of fresh fruit and vegetables everywhere..........it was intoxicating. saying it's a beehive of activity doesn't do it justice! thanks for sharing those

On the walk over from BART, I also snapped some photos of the new CityTarget that opened at the Metreon on 2012.10.10:

Thanks for the comment.

Yeah, I can definitely recommend the morning for visitors... Most of the shoppers coming on Muni from the rest of the city get their shopping done before noon, and the majority of the markets along Stockton start closing by early afternoon. A lot of visitors miss out on the market experience, which gives a whole different face to the neighborhood from the more kitschy stores along Grant. I used to visit often on Saturdays and Sundays around late morning or midday, and would often be able to catch the arrival of the fish tank trucks, a funeral procession, or some other interesting happening.

Very good pictures! Thanks for the updates, quashlo!

Your shots of Chinatown are very nice and vibrant. I like to see people in their common life. And those about SF Giants are very good too.

SF is always a very good city to take pictures of, it´s a lovely city.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Marin Headlands
2012.09.09

Jumping back a bit, here’s some photos from the Marin Headlands, another part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The GGNRA happens to be celebrating its 40th birthday this weekend after citizens banded together to save these areas from suburban development. The Marin Headlands is a popular weekend hike, and there’s even Muni service on Sundays (the 76 line) for city folk like myself that takes us all the way across the Bridge and over to Fort Cronkhite and Rodeo Beach. A highly recommended ride, although the service can be a bit erratic and the schedules shouldn’t be taken too literally.

Rodeo Beach

Point Bonita
There’s a fantastic lighthouse situated precariously on one of the crags here, complete with a tight-rope walk on a narrow, four-foot wide bridge if you visit on one of their open days… Otherwise, it’s also a really great spot to get skyline shots or spot some harbor seals lounging around down on the rocks.







On the opposite shore is San Francisco, here showing Lands End and the huge VA Medical Center Complex.



Marshall Beach, The Presidio



Once you get high enough, the perspectives begin to get trippy, with the entirety of Ocean Beach and the Sunset and all the way down to Pacifica visible in one shot.

The Marin Headlands are situated at the north end of the Golden Gate. Can be a bit of a hike, but the bridge and skyline shots can be particularly rewarding if you go when the skies are clear.
