This particular shot captures so much of what I love about San Francisco: the topography, the water, the dense urban neighborhoods, and the fact there are spectacular views in numerous parts of the city. It's such a feast for the eyes, as this photo proves.
i'm glad you got up to the Marin Headlands to get those incredible pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge from up behind and above it. there are actually two vista points, the one you took the last two pictures from and another if you continued to drive further up the mountains where you are actually staring down at the bridge, both mind blowing spots. when ever i know someone is going to SF i implore them to drive across the GGB and get their tails up there for the view of your life. certainly the most photogenic city in America. New York and Chicago have their awesomeness, Boston has it's red brick but there is no more beautiful city and needless to say the setting of the city is unmatched anywhere, in the US or not
Wonderful pictures. Early may was a prime and beautiful time in the city this year I'm glad you got to enjoy it. That first picture reminds me yet again that although I have lived in the Bay Area for my entire life, I have still yet to visit Alcatraz.
