No pants?

But seriously, those photos are gorgeous - the sky is impossibly blue in the first one.

Wow, these are great, and you are so right: what a perfect day!

I love them all, but my favorite is the last one. Not many folks shoot the odd angle, as you did here, and it always takes my breath away.

Well done!

Standing out there in the middle of the bridge, it's awe inspiring thinking about the men building that thing back in the thirties. Nerves of steel.

and that shot of the city from the bridge is one of my favorite views. In fact, the first time I came across the bridge back into the city... fog was creeping in along the water... I'd heard about the fog creeping in over San Francisco but to see it... it was magic!

I LOVE the last shot... I, too, love photos from strange angles... that is a great shot!

Thanks for posting.... but you made me nostalgic... haven't been to CA for a few years.... need to make a trip soon.

SF, one of my favorite cities!

I took this shot on a flight down from Vancouver a while back.

SF is a beautiful, beautiful city.

I miss SF. The last time I actually visited was 10 years ago. I fly through there on the way up to Oregon all the time though. My wife has never been there and I keep saying one of these times we'll do a stopover.

Especially from the cold and grey Rheinland today. Tomorrow, I have to run down to Vienna, where the weather probably won't be much better, either.

The pastry, on the other hand........
