These photos illustrate part of why San Francisco is the most popular tourist city in the United States. They were all shot today on a ride from the Embarcadero to and across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was windy, sunny, and foggy. Great for photos!
I had one small mishap at the end of the day. I ride with my camera case slung over my shoulder. When I stop to take a picture, I often don't even get off the bike. Instead, I open the camera case, put the camera strap around my neck, and then take the shot. To get ready to ride again, the steps are reversed. I was back at Embarcadero late in the afternoon, getting ready to return on BART, when I stopped for one last shot of an interesting building. As I went to return the camera to the case, the lens cap popped off, bounced once on the asphalt, and then fell through a grate into the storm drain! Bummer! (I've already ordered a replacement, but it will cost me $20 for a small piece of plastic!)

LOVED the latest. Stunning. Ingrid told me about your new passion with Trek Earth - and I can see why. What a great venue for photography and to have people who really appreciate it give you feedback.
It reminds me of how photography used to be my passion and focus (please forgive the pun) especially while traveling. It gave me a reason to do something other than simply stare. Cycling shouldn't take away from that, but lately it is my excuse for being lazy about photos. And yet, I love having them if I've made even the littlest effort to take them. Anyway, I'm glad you have some time for hiking, biking, and photography so we can all enjoy them on your blog. Thanks Bill!!!!!
Love the seagulls photo especially. And it is now 2 days until I see you.
Yay!
Hi,
Great pictures. Just a small indoor hint about Madrone trees. Check out the Swedenborgian church in SF at 2107 Lyon street. Closed on Mondays.
