Twin Peaks

En route to Haight-Ashbury, we made a detour via Twin Peaks to see the best views across San Francisco. This message simply shows the outstanding views to be had up there. The first photo shows the city centre, and the second shows the view north to the Golden Gate bridge, whose dimensions look foreshortened. Next comes the view east across the bay to Oakland on the far shore. The fourth shot takes, I think, Nob Hill in the middle distance, and certainly Alcatraz - the prison island out in the bay. The final offering is the view west to Ocean Beach and the Pacific Ocean. You can see the latter, but not the former.

It was nice weather in the morning when these pictures were taken, but it began to cloud over when we decended on Haight-Ashbury. I was wearing my usual gear of shorts and T-shirt, which made this turn of events unwelcome.
