by acemj Being a city of dramatic rises and falls, there are many interesting vantage points from which to capture this beautiful city on film. this shot was taken from Telegraph Hill where the Coit Tower is located. In the distance, you can see the snaking curves of Lombard Street. Leave a Comment

 The Nakatomi Plaza by shivan This is the magnificent Nakatomi Plaza, the most relevant landmark of the downtown San Francisco, not counting the Golden Gate and maybe Alcatraz. I like that building for its particular shape and most of all for the action movie Die Hard, filmed there, with one of my favourite actors, Bruce Willis. The Nakatomi Plaza is also tall enough to be visible from every corner of the town Leave a Comment

 Sky line by shivan View of this wonderful town from the heights of the Twin Peaks. Laura Palmer was not there, too bad. A lot of wind, and chill, are perceptible, instead, a lot of them. Can't remember the name of a famous writer who said that the coldest winter he ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco. A bit exaggerated, in my opinion, but I've been there twice and it was veeery cold both the times Leave a Comment

 San Francisco From a Distance by Bwana_Brown This is a city that looks good from any angle! Because of its surrounding hills, oceans and bays there are so many different views of the city that it is amazing. During our day-trip to the Golden Gate Bridge and surrounding area, we stopped on the north side of the bridge in Sausalito for a lunch-time meal. This was the view across San Francisco Bay from the restaurant, showing (from left to right) the Bay Bridge to Oakland, Alcatraz Island (in front of the bridge) and the appealing main downtown area of the city.

 Hang Glider at Fort Funston by guell We love coming to Fort Funston for the short hikes and for the scenery. Hang gliders soar back and forth on the air currents rising off the cliffs, and they come so close that we can actually make out the pilots’ faces! Fort Funston is also popular with dog owners because it is one of the few places that dog owners have official permission to let their dogs off the leash. The winds that give the hang gliders lift also tend to make it a bit cold, so bring a jacket just in case! The Fort Funston parking area is just off Skyline Boulevard (Route 35) just south of John Muir Drive. Leave a Comment

 Financial District as scene from the Mark Hopkins by mydreamquest If you enter the Mark Hopkins Hotel on California Mason Street, you will be able to go onto the elevator to the top floor (floor T, where everyone's going) and, you will be able to enjoy a nice view of San Francisco. Although only around 20 floors up, because the Mark Hopkins is on a steep hill, it is higher than most of the tall skyscrapers in the downtown financial District. As a person point of reference, see the Transamerica Pyramid Bldg., to me, that ugly gray building is the Holiday Inn, the ugliest piece of architecture in the world, in my opinion. In front of the Holiday Inn is Chinatown. As a historical point of reference, that ugly building was once the spot of a court house where City Lights bookstore was being tried for Obscenit Charges for selling Allen Ginsberg's "The Howl" in 1956. This absurd McCartheyism-ish act marked the beginning of San Francisco's more Liberal Politics which lead with the Beatnik Generation and then the Hippie and Punk Generations to follow. As Allen Ginsberg came out of the closet as a gay man, one could point at that spot as being the seed to the birth of not only SF Bohemia, but the birth of SF's Gay Community.
Watching Joe Montana beat the Cowboys 28-27 in the 1982 NFC Championship game. I ran on the football field with the rest of the fans and was in the end zone with as the game clock expired. Leave a Comment

 "PAINTED LADIES" by gkitzmil Here is a pick of the "painted ladies" Yes, I just had to find Alamo Square on one sunny day so I could see this view with my very own eyes!
Wandering the streets you can tell that SF has a "hometown" feel Head down Market Street to Fell and head West to the Square see map at: http://www.sfvisitor.org/maps/html/Citywide.html Leave a Comment

by pmarshuk This is one of my favourite photo's of San Francisco. Just caught the mist rolling in across the bridge at sunset. The picture was taken from the municipal pier between Fisherman's Wharf and Fort Mason. Leave a Comment

by cjg1 This is a picture of the Golden Gate taken from the Marin Highlands in March 2001. Everyone seems to get a pic like this. I think the fog rolling in is one of those things you just don't get until you experience it. Leave a Comment
